Industrial chain: at present, the domestic sulfur market demand is sluggish, the port inventory continues to increase, and the consumption is slow. The operators are obviously short of the future market, and the atmosphere of stalemate is strong. On the other hand, after the phosphate compound fertilizer meeting, there was no clear message guidance in the market, the external support was weak, the on-site negotiation atmosphere was cold, and the downstream procurement enthusiasm was low. The domestic phosphorus ore market continued to operate in a downturn. At the beginning of the month, prices in some areas were slightly adjusted. The prices of some mining enterprises in Guizhou and other areas remained high. The prices of phosphorus mining enterprises in a small part of Kaiyang area were slightly lower due to the impact of demand, and the prices in the near future remained stable. Liquid ammonia market may continue to maintain weak, mainly due to weak demand in most regions, resulting in overstocking of inventory. The recent market does not rule out the possibility of continuing to explore low.

 

Industry: according to the price monitoring of the business agency, in the 46th week of 2019 (11.18-11.22), there are 1 rising commodity, 3 falling commodities and 5 rising and falling commodities.

The main commodities that rose were yellow phosphorus (0.53%); the main commodities that fell were monoammonium phosphate (- 0.85%), phosphoric acid (- 0.62%). This week’s average was – 0.19%.

 

III. future forecast

 

Analysts of business association ammonium phosphate think that the market of ammonium phosphate keeps low. In some enterprises, the price of raw materials has fallen due to the maintenance of devices, the downstream procurement is cautious, the demand side has not improved, and the winter storage market is worrying. No favorable policies have been issued after the conference. It is expected that the market of ammonium phosphate will continue to be weak in the later stage. It is suggested to pay attention to the headlines of phosphorus chemical industry to learn more about the market.

According to the latest data released by the General Administration of customs, in October 2019, China imported 11.53 million tons of power coal (including bituminous coal and sub bituminous coal, but excluding lignite, the same below), an increase of 2.47 million tons year on year, an increase of 27.26%, a decrease of 2.02 million tons month on month, a decrease of 14.91%. From January to October 2019, the total import of power coal was 107.05 million tons, an increase of 5.24 million tons, or 5.15%.

 

III. future forecast

 

Business analysts believe that: on the one hand, the supply of power coal is still sufficient, on the other hand, with the arrival of winter heating season demand has improved, overall, the price of power coal will maintain a weak balance in the short term.

Last week, polysilicon prices slightly weakened, and trading volume was relatively low (11.18-22)

I. price trend

 

According to the data of the business club’s bulk list, last week (11.18-22) domestic polysilicon did not maintain a strong market in the first ten days, the price fell slightly, the market gradually cooled down, and the pressure of supply and demand increased. As of November 22, according to the business club’s monitoring, the overall decline of domestic polysilicon solar energy level was 0.54%. The average external quotation of enterprises was 60000-62000 yuan / ton, and the current price fell 25% year on year About%. At present, the domestic single crystal is still stable, the price range of compact material is 70000-730 million yuan / ton, and the price difference of single polycrystal is not much different from that of the first ten days.

 

II. Market analysis

 

First of all, from the perspective of market supply, it is still dominated by oversupply. In the middle of the year, the domestic polysilicon supply performance is sufficient. By the end of the week, the domestic polysilicon enterprises have reached the peak of operation rate, and the early-stage maintenance devices have basically started, but some enterprises have not yet recovered to full production operation, but the overall market supply is still slightly greater than the demand, especially the high proportion of polysilicon materials Silicon material factory. At present, there are 15 polysilicon producing enterprises in China, with an actual capacity of 396000 tons / year. Although some of them produce single crystals, the production of polysilicon materials is still close to 50% of the production. At present, the price of polysilicon is loose, but there is not much reduction. This is mainly because the inventory of polysilicon materials in silicon factories has not been greatly increased, and the enterprises do not have the intention to reduce the inventory. Even though the downstream ingot enterprises cut the operating rate or even shut down, this week’s price has not been significantly reduced.

 

sodium persulphate

Let’s take a look at the demand situation: since November, the demand for polysilicon has gradually cooled, and the market price drop in the middle of the year has not been significantly expanded, mainly because the downstream demand is rigid, but the downstream polysilicon chips present the same situation of unstable supply and demand as the upstream. The operating rate of downstream silicon chip manufacturers is only about 40%, because the downstream ingots, battery chips and other enterprises are open Because of the sharp decline in the production rate, the demand for polysilicon has been reduced. Most polysilicon manufacturers also execute early orders, and the new single rate is lower than that in October, so the price naturally declines to a certain extent.

 

III. future forecast

 

In the future, business analysts believe that the polysilicon market is loose, which is mainly due to the lack of timely follow-up of demand. From the current high operating rate of enterprises, the inventory pressure of enterprises is still under control, which also confirms the relative rigidity of market demand. However, there are also some variables in the medium term of the supply side, because there are some newly put into operation devices that release part of the production capacity. Moreover, there are still a few enterprises that start with load reduction. If the start-up load of enterprises in the later stage is further increased, there will be periodic excess supply. In particular, in the current situation that market demand has peaked, we cannot be overly optimistic about polysilicon market. It is expected that the market will be weak and stable in the near future, and we cannot rule out the possibility of continuing to explore in a small scale.

On the news, US crude oil production reached a record high, US crude oil and gasoline inventories increased, and US and European crude oil futures ended slightly lower. However, the oil price drop is relatively low, which can not reflect the effect of ethylene falling. In addition, OPEC forecast in the report that the growth of economic and oil demand will be stable in 2020, and the external market of ethylene will rise. After a small increase in the price of styrene in the downstream, consolidation and high consolidation of ethanol price supported the price of ethylene.

 

3. Future forecast:

 

Ethylene analyst of the chemical branch of business society thinks: at present, the periodic rebound of crude oil is temporary intermediary. Although the tension of international trade has been relieved temporarily, the root problem has not been effectively solved. The next is the impact of economic growth slowdown and the game of oil price. The market is mainly guided by the news, so the data analysts of business club expect that the price of ethylene will keep a narrow range of shocks in the future.

By Friday, the price of hydrogenated benzene in East China was 5250-5350 yuan / ton, 150 yuan / ton higher than that at the beginning of the week. This week, the operating rate of hydrogenated benzene enterprises increased slightly, the price difference with crude benzene narrowed, the loss space narrowed, the market focus moved up, and the negotiation went up significantly, among which, Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei increased by 200-300 yuan / ton. Although the recent maintenance of hydrogenated benzene enterprises was concentrated and the overall operation decreased, the price of raw material crude benzene rose this week, and the increase of crude benzene in some regions exceeded the increase of hydrogenated benzene, The profitability of hydrogenated benzene enterprises is still below the cost line.

 

Industry chain: crude oil: this week’s crude oil range fluctuated, affected by economic data, progress of trade negotiations and US crude oil inventory. WTI was up 1% and Brent was up 2.46% compared with November 8. Pure benzene: at the beginning of the week, the market demand for pure benzene was weak and the price was lower. However, the reduction of hydrogenated benzene production led to the decrease of supply, driving the price of pure benzene higher in North China. Tight spot supply and drop in port inventory led to short covering, which drove the price of pure benzene to continue to rise.

 

3. Trend forecast:

 

Next week, oil prices may continue to fluctuate. The supply and demand of coking industry has improved, and the overall support of hydrobenzene is strong, but the power of pure benzene follow-up belt is still strong, the downstream support is limited, and the price of hydrobenzene in the future is mainly consolidated.

III. future forecast

 

In the middle of November, the overall trend of potassium chloride market or low consolidation dominated. After the adjustment in October, the capital return of each plant is in good condition, the equipment maintenance is completed, and the production capacity is increased. However, the market of potassium chloride is facing three major pressures, namely, large stock, weak demand and downward international prices. Therefore, the main contradiction in the current market is that supply exceeds demand. According to analysts of KCl in business association, the short-term market of KCl is dominated by low consolidation under the influence of supply and demand and raw materials.
