On August 12, the antimony commodity index was 96.06, unchanged from yesterday, down 6.12% from the highest point of 102.32 in the cycle (October 16, 2012), and up 104.47% from the lowest point of 46.98 on December 24, 2015（ Note: the period refers to the period from September 8, 2012 to now).

The antimony ingot market price rose this week, and the price is basically stable this week. At present, the manufacturer’s mentality is still strong, and the psychology of reluctant to sell has the upper hand. Affected by the expected tight supply of raw materials of antimony ore, most antimony ingots of domestic mainstream manufacturers are sold in limited quantities, and enterprises continue to have a high intention to raise prices. At present, the price of antimony ingots is still at a relatively high level in history. At present, the downstream has a strong fear of heights. It is mainly wait-and-see as a whole and purchases on demand.

As of August 13, the market price in Hunan is: 2# antimony ingot 68500 yuan / ton, 1# antimony ingot 70500 yuan / ton, 0# antimony ingot 71500 yuan / ton.

Since July, the price of antimony ingots has continued to rise, mainly boosted by the shortage of raw materials, and the manufacturers’ psychology of supporting prices and reluctant to sell has gradually increased. It is expected that the price of antimony ingots will remain stable and upward in the short term.

Summary of price adjustment of Sinopec pure benzene in 2021 (unit: yuan / ton)

Date., adjusted price., adjusted amount

July 2, 8750., + 300

July 12, 8600. – 150

July 19, 8450. – 150

July 21, 8150. – 300

On August 9, 2021, the listing price of Sinopec’s pure benzene was reduced by 150 yuan / ton. At present, it is 7550 yuan / ton, of which Qilu Petrochemical is 7500 yuan / ton.

This week, the trend of crude oil was weak, the external market of pure benzene fell slightly, and the spot market of pure benzene mainly fluctuated, falling first and then rising during the week. Under the influence of bad fundamentals, Sinopec lowered the ex factory price of pure benzene by 150 yuan / ton this week. Downstream benzene hydrogenation enterprises are still based on demand, with limited demand side support. The production of coking enterprises in the main production area is still limited. Due to the difficulties in the supply and procurement of raw materials, the commencement of some mainstream coking enterprises in China has a certain impact, and the supply side is slightly tight.

In the future, the business community believes that at present, there are frequent negative and positive factors on the fundamentals, and the crude oil price fluctuates, which is difficult to form an obvious guide to the market. At present, the downstream demand of the crude benzene industry chain is general and the supply is slightly tight. It is expected that the crude benzene price will still maintain a strong shock trend in the short term.

From January to June, the yarn output was 13.558 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 17.8%. Under the condition of high spinning profit, the upward support of cotton price is obvious. Due to the gradual increase of orders in autumn and winter, the operating rate of downstream weaving enterprises of textile enterprises has increased, the enterprises are optimistic about the future market, and there is a large demand for supplementary cotton raw materials. But at the same time, in the expectation of the peak consumption season, the market’s worries remain, the industrial chain shows signs of poor price transmission, and the grey cloth price has not been able to rise against this background. The future cotton market mainly depends on the demand side. It is expected that the cotton price may fluctuate in the short term.
