The price of bromine continued to decline. The price of bromine in Shandong is under pressure, and now the mainstream market price in Shandong is 32000-35000 yuan/ton. Downstream flame retardants and intermediates industries have been started recently, but the low load has been maintained, the demand is obviously bleak, and the shipment of bromine enterprises is not smooth. With the increase of bromine production, the operators are pessimistic and generally not optimistic about the future.

In terms of raw materials: the domestic sulfur price has consolidated and operated. The average market price at the beginning of February was 1170 yuan/ton, and the average market price on February 21 was 1153.33 yuan/ton, down 1.42%. At present, the domestic refinery plants operate stably, the market supply of goods is stable, the sulfur price is greatly affected by the downstream demand, the terminal phosphate fertilizer market performance is poor, the sulfur market is lack of positive, the refinery mainly temporarily stable shipments, the operators are wait-and-see attitude, and the short-term sulfur market is expected to operate smoothly, and the follow-up situation of the downstream is specifically concerned.

Analysts from the Business News Agency believe that the price of bromine has continued to decline in the near future. The demand for downstream flame retardants and intermediates of bromine has been slow to follow up. Most of them are purchased on demand. The price is weak and the upstream sulfur support is insufficient. The downstream demand is generally expected to be weak in the short-term bromine price to consolidate the operating situation, depending on the downstream market demand.
