II. Market analysis

 

In the middle of October, the domestic polysilicon market has been in stable operation. After experiencing the slow bull market of “Jinjiu”, the market has entered a stable period at present, with fair supply and demand. On the one hand, the market has sufficient supply and low maintenance rate of large factories, but the inventory pressure of manufacturers is not large. At present, 15 domestic production enterprises are in normal production, and the signing rate of municipal manufacturers is also high. In October The orders of the manufacturers have been exhausted. Most of the manufacturers have signed until November. Recently, there is news in the market that Daquan new energy and Jingke have signed a two-year polysilicon supply agreement. According to the terms of the supply agreement, Daquan new energy will supply 12000 to 14400 tons of polysilicon and 15600 to 21600 tons of polysilicon to Jingke energy in 2020 and 2021, with monthly pricing. Overall, the overall market supply pressure is not big. On the other hand, the cornerstone of stable market supply also relies on the moderate growth of downstream demand. After entering October, downstream demand continues to warm up, and the operating rate of battery manufacturers generally increases compared with that in September. In addition, the capacity expansion and centralized release of downstream silicon rod and silicon wafer increase the demand for polysilicon. At the same time, the new capacity release of domestic polysilicon material ensures the same demand and supply. Step growth. In addition, the price of imported goods has been raised, but influenced by the recent strengthening of RMB exchange rate, the price of RMB converted from import volume denominated in US dollar has remained stable.

 

In the future, business analysts believe that at present, the polysilicon market is stable, driven by the traditional peak season factor of “silver ten”, and also benefited from the situation of booming market supply and demand. At present, the supply side inventory is not much, and the market can maintain normal purchasing behavior. In the late October, if there is a sudden overhaul of the enterprise, the price is expected to rise, but at the same time We should continue to pay close attention to the downstream operating rate. It is expected that there will be little change in the near future, and the polysilicon market will still be strong for some time.

Adipic acid market weak adjustment (10.14-18)

I. price trend

 

According to the data of the business club’s large list, last week (10.14-18) the domestic adipic acid market was slightly lower than that of the previous week, and the dealers’ quotation was mainly reduced. The market price was reduced to 50-100 yuan / ton, with a decline percentage of 0.21%. As of the end of the week, the quotation is generally 8300-8450 yuan / ton.

 

II. Analysis and comment

 

Last week, the adipic acid market continued to maintain a weak market after the festival. Last week, the market did not improve. The traditional peak season of “silver ten” was completely blown out in the middle and late ten days. At present, most regions of the country maintain stability, and some of them have declined. Most dealers have successively reduced their quotations by about 100 yuan / ton. The markets in East China and South China have declined. The market atmosphere is slightly bleak, and dealers are active. Goods oriented, the market maintains a weak and volatile pattern. At present, the downstream market has a heavy wait-and-see mentality, the transaction is slightly stalemate, and there is room for businesses to save and transfer profits.

 

sodium persulphate

In terms of supply, affected by the downturn of downstream purchase orders, the market supply only keeps increasing, and many dealers say that the inventory pressure is large, the plant operation rate of manufacturers is high, the market inventory and the manufacturer’s inventory have increased, and the market has staged stock up behavior at the end of September, and now the downstream procurement is still rational. Affected by this, the stock taking in the middle of the month slightly slows down. Among them, there are also relatively low-cost sources flooding the market. There is a certain bargaining space for products, and the price difference between the market price offer and the firm offer remains. Dealers in North China, East China and South China adjust their quotations to varying degrees, and most regions maintain a stable market.

 

In terms of demand, the downstream demand has not improved significantly. The traditional “silver ten” market did not arrive on schedule this year. The downstream operating rate is still slightly insufficient. The operating rate is basically above 50%, which does not form a strong boost to the upstream adipic acid. In terms of cost, the upstream pure benzene market is still sluggish, and the downward trend is more and more clear. From the 8th to the 18th of October after the festival, according to business. According to social monitoring, the decline rate of pure benzene has reached 6.13%, which undoubtedly brings more cost negative to adipic acid market. At the same time, adipic acid manufacturers also have a certain space to make profit shipment possible. The market has gradually returned to plain, and the market has entered the inventory elimination cycle. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the reference price in the East China market is about 8300-8450 yuan / ton, and the quotation in South China is generally 8400-8500 yuan / ton.

 

III. future forecast

 

According to adipic acid analyst of business and chemical branch, adipic acid is still sluggish and not getting better in the near future. At the same time, the whole chemical industry is also in a downward cycle. According to the Statistics Bureau, PPI fell 1.2% year on year in September, and the industry’s negative also covers the adipic acid industry chain. In addition, the lack of downstream demand is still the decisive factor for adipic acid to get out of the haze. Adipic acid market is expected to remain weak in the short term.

III. future forecast

 

1. Crude oil: next week, the oil price will continue to consolidate at a low level, with a heavy bearish atmosphere in the market.

 

2. Domestic market: at present, there are many overhauls and weak demand in the North China market; some downstream devices are overhauled and weak market support; in addition, the styrene in the downstream has a large decline and the market mentality is short. However, pure benzene fell sharply for two weeks in a row, and the market dare not blindly catch up.

 

Overall, it is expected that the trend of pure benzene will continue to be weak next week, or continue to decline but not much.
