Next week, it is estimated that 2 million tons / year polyester plant maintenance is expected, and the starting load will fall below 72%. The market price of polyester filament is stable, including 7000.00-7450.00 yuan / ton for polyester poy150d / 48F, 8600.00-9050.00 yuan / ton for polyester dty150d / 48F, 7600.00-7950.00 yuan / ton for polyester fdy150d / 96F. Near the Spring Festival, textile enterprises enter into the mode of shutdown and vacation, and the comprehensive starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms declines to about 14%.

Xia Ting, an analyst with the business club, believes that the stock up before the festival will gradually come to an end, the downstream polyester factory will also be further overhauled, the terminal weaving and polyester start-up will fall, the demand will fall again, and PTA accumulation pressure will intensify. However, at present, crude oil is in the period of production reduction, as well as the macro positive, which forms a certain support for PTA. Overall, PTA prices are expected to be weak before the festival.

1、 Price trend

According to the price monitoring of the business agency, the market of domestic liquefied gas has declined broadly. As of January 14, the average price of domestic liquefied gas market is 4533.33 yuan / ton. Prices rose 13.81% month on month and 6.67% year on year.

2、 Influencing factors

Products: on the 14th, the liquefied gas (Shandong) market went down broadly, with a general trading atmosphere. The rise and fall in Shandong were different, mainly downward. At present, the ex factory price is 4450-4600 yuan / ton. In the morning, international crude oil continued to decline and closed, with a negative market mentality. Sinopec and its major producers mainly fell, while other manufacturers mainly fell. With the Spring Festival approaching, there is still a demand for replenishment in the downstream. As the price continues to fall, the enthusiasm for replenishment in the downstream has increased, and the manufacturer’s shipment has slightly improved.

3、 Future forecast

At present, the trend of international crude oil and peripheral markets are both in a weak position, which affects the market mentality. However, with the continuous decline of prices, the demand for inventory and replenishment in the downstream before the Spring Festival, the enthusiasm for entering the market has improved. It is expected that there will still be a downward trend or a slowdown in the short term.

1、 Price trend

The domestic BDO market was up by a narrow range. According to the sample data monitored by the business association, as of January 10, the average price of the domestic BDO market was 9796 yuan / ton, with a 0.16% increase on a month on month basis and a 2.77% decrease on a year-on-year basis.

2、 Market analysis

Product: the domestic BDO market has increased in a narrow range this week. Affected by the rain and snow weather, the slow transportation and the control of the main factory lead to less spot supply in the field, the supplier’s attitude of supporting the market continues, and the offer is higher. However, the middle and lower reaches are opposed to the hanging settlement and have a strong wait-and-see mood. Most of the expired contracts have not been signed, and they have turned to spot market inquiry and purchase, waiting for more clear information guidance of the new model. Up to now, except for the catalyst replacement from January 2 to 7 of Shaanxi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., and the take-off and landing of Dongyuan from January 6 to 80%, other main factories have not yet implemented the load reduction. Before the Spring Festival, the downstream follow-up to reduce the negative production: PBT prosperity plans to maintain, Kanghui plans to reduce to one line operation, the demand gradually weakens, and the demand side support is insufficient. At present, the promotion of linked settlement is slow, the supply and demand sides continue to play games, and the negotiation focus is high.

In terms of devices, this week, Tianye phase I 30000 ton device is in normal operation, and two 60000 ton devices are planned to restart in February; Chongqing Jianfeng will stop for maintenance on or about December 15, which is expected to be about one month; Shaanxi chemical will stop for catalyst replacement on January 2, which will be restarted on January 8; Dongyuan’s load will be reduced to 80% from January 6; Tunhe phase II will be successfully commissioned on December 30, 2019, and the products are expected to enter the market in February. The overall market operating rate this week is around 62.8%. (domestic production capacity increases by 60000 tons / year for Shaanxi black cat and Xinjiang new industry, 100000 tons / year for Tunhe phase II, and 30000 tons / year for Shaanxi chemical and Yizheng Dalian long-term parking)

Industrial chain: in terms of raw materials, methanol and methanol are mainly on the upward trend this week. Guanzhong is up 70-100 yuan / ton to 1850-1960 yuan / ton. The weekly volume is up and the sales of local enterprises are smooth. Inner Mongolia is up 50-60 yuan / ton to 1780-1820 yuan / ton. However, due to the impact of snowfall weather, the surrounding areas are closed at a high speed and the methanol export cycle is extended. Xinjiang and other places are also up. At present, the enthusiasm of the downstream stock up before the festival has increased, and most enterprises do not have high inventory. Most enterprises take measures to raise the price, and it is expected that the market will maintain a strong trend next week.

Calcium carbide: this week, the domestic calcium carbide Market as a whole rose. The ex factory price increased by 50 yuan / ton, and the price to the factory increased by 50-100 yuan / ton. Market trading atmosphere is active, road transportation is limited, and market wait-and-see is increased. In recent years, heavy snow has fallen in many places in the north, and the road transportation is not smooth, which causes the vehicle turnover to be blocked. The inventory of production enterprises gradually accumulates, but the downstream arrival volume is insufficient, and PVC production enterprises in central and North China are limited to start. However, the road icing in Shaanxi is more serious, and the transportation of Lancan is blocked, so some carbide production enterprises reduce production load due to the problem of raw material supply. After new year’s day, new high-speed charging standards led to an increase in freight rates. It is expected that the road transportation will gradually recover with the weather improving in the near future, but the number of downstream trucks to be unloaded is low in the near future, so the downstream actively purchases. It is expected that the arrival of domestic calcium carbide next week will be insufficient regionally. In order to attract the supply, there will be a rise.

3、 Future forecast

Restricted by the double factors of transportation and main factory control, the spot supply in the field is less, and the manufacturers stick to the high price offer. After Shaanxi chemical industry’s short-term shutdown and replacement catalysis, the negative production of Dongyuan decreased, the overall operating rate decreased, and the supply end inventory was partially favorable. However, the downstream is in conflict with the suspension settlement, and the promotion is slow. Most of the expired contracts have not been signed, but have been transferred to the market for spot inquiry and purchase, waiting for more clear information and guidance of the new model. With the arrival of Spring Festival, limited transportation and low inventory, BDO analysts predict that the domestic BDO market will be stronger next week, focusing on the device dynamics and contract signing.

1、 Market analysis

The domestic n-butanol market began to recover rapidly on the 6th after the decline at the beginning of the month, with a ten day increase of 1.71% and a ten day amplitude of 2.89%. At present, on January 13, the price of domestic n-butanol market is stable and firm, with an average reference price of 5933 yuan / ton (including tax). The upstream propylene price has risen to the highest level. The factory cost pressure is large, the cost support is strong, the overall market offer is high, and the downstream customers’ purchase is up The attitude of not buying is obvious, the users are active in purchasing, the factory orders are relatively smooth, and the transaction of n-butanol market is stable. At present, the market of n-butanol in South China is stable, and the quoted price is 6250-6350 yuan / ton; the market of n-butanol in North China is stable, and the quoted price is around 6000 yuan / ton; the quoted price of n-butanol in Shandong lihuayi is 5900 yuan / ton, and Luxi Chemical today The factory price of daily collective pricing is 5900 yuan / ton, with medium load and low inventory. The factory quotation of n-butanol of Qilu Petrochemical Company is about 5900 yuan / ton.

2、 Future forecast

According to the analysis of butanol in the business agency: in the first ten days of January, the domestic propylene market continued to rise, which effectively consolidated the butanol market. However, the stock in the early stage of the market was basically completed, and the subsequent market volume is expected to decrease. Therefore, the domestic butanol market mainly operated smoothly before and after the Spring Festival, with limited upside space. At the same time, a small number of manufacturers adjusted prices in order to stimulate the shipment after the year The possibility of lattice.

1、 Price trend

According to the data of the business club’s large scale list, the price of aniline in Shandong this week decreased by 100 yuan / ton, and the market price of aniline in Shandong on Friday was 6200 yuan / ton, down by 1.59% compared with 6300 yuan / ton last Friday; the market price of aniline in Nanjing was 6700 yuan / ton, stable compared with last Friday.

2、 Analysis and comment

Raw materials: this week, the price of pure benzene will be 5500-5950 yuan / ton on Friday. This week’s pure benzene port inventory is down slightly from last week. Affected by the situation in the Middle East at the beginning of the week, oil prices soared, driving the price of pure benzene up in the external market and the domestic market. However, in the later period, the oil price plummeted and the support surface weakened. In addition, the downstream trading has been light and the profit is insufficient, so the market fell back.

The upstream nitric acid has been stable since mid December of last year, which has little effect on aniline.

Product: aniline market continues to be depressed, and the enthusiasm of downstream procurement is not high. Last weekend, Jinmao plant shutdown brought insufficient positive support, and some enterprises still have high inventory, bidding for shipment.

3、 Future expectation

Raw materials: the stock up before the year is basically over, near the Spring Festival, with heavy snow in the north and limited transportation, it is difficult for Northern resources to enter East China for arbitrage, and East China’s supply may remain at the current level. Styrene is expected to arrive more next week, and inventory will continue to rise. Downstream terminal digestion pressure, receiving intention is weak, market bearish mood spread. Downstream market will continue to limit the recovery of pure benzene market. It is expected that the price of pure benzene will continue to consolidate in the next week.

Aniline is in the theoretical production loss, but downstream demand still limits the aniline Market, which is expected to operate weakly and stably next week.

1、 Price trend

Recently, the domestic butadiene market is mainly in consolidation. As of January 9, the price of butadiene was 9090 yuan / ton, down 8.65% on a month on month basis and 22.85% on a year-on-year basis, according to the monitoring of business club.

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

Products: the domestic butadiene market has maintained consolidation, the domestic suppliers have no latest price guidance, most of the downstream digested raw material inventory, and the market trading atmosphere slightly fell. Middlemen mainly offer stable prices. The delivery price in Shandong Province is 8400-8500 yuan / ton, and the price in East China is 8400-8500 yuan / ton. Some businesses wait for the guidance of logistics recovery in the north.

In terms of market, the butadiene market in Shandong Province is mainly wait-and-see, and the market trading atmosphere has fallen. The middleman sent the offer for reference of 8400-8500 yuan / ton. Some businesses are cautious about the impact of the transportation information on the supply of goods. The butadiene market in East China is quiet, and there is no latest news guidance in the market. The downstream mainly digests the raw material inventory. Some middlemen mainly deliver the early orders, and the offer is kept at 8400-8500 yuan / ton, with the actual single negotiation.

In terms of industrial chain: styrene butadiene rubber: the supply price of domestic mainstream styrene butadiene rose, the market offer rose first, and the position of the industry kept increasing. The mainstream price of Qilu 1502e in North China is around 11300 yuan / ton, and the mainstream price of Qilu 1502e in East China is 11500-11600 yuan / ton. Cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber: the domestic cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber market rose, and traders’ positions and offers increased one after another. The main market price of Shunding in North China is 11100-11200 yuan / ton.

3、 Future forecast

East China is relatively abundant in spot goods, and the atmosphere of periodic replenishment in the lower reaches has fallen. In recent days, if it is difficult for suppliers to have a sustained positive boost, the butadiene analysts of the business agency expect that the domestic butadiene market will continue to bear upward pressure in the short term, and the situation will be sorted out in the short term. It is recommended to pay attention to the basic information of supply and demand and the price guidance of suppliers.
