It can be seen from the data monitoring chart of the business club that in June, the domestic organosilicon DMC market as a whole showed a downward trend. In early June, after returning from the Dragon Boat Festival, the organosilicon DMC market experienced a rapid decline and rapid rise. In the four days after the festival, major manufacturers in Shandong adjusted prices for four consecutive times, with a price fluctuation of 2300 yuan / ton. On the 7th, after Shandong significantly reduced the ex factory price of organosilicon DMC to 20000 yuan / ton, it adjusted the price back to around 22300 yuan / ton on June 9. Other factories also have a small price adjustment trend with the fluctuation of large factories. In the middle and late June, due to the insufficient downstream demand and the limited digestion capacity of raw materials, the domestic organosilicon DMC market started to run downward. Shandong big manufacturers and leading monomer factories successively adjusted the ex factory price of organosilicon DMC. As of June 27, the ex factory price of organosilicon DMC in Shandong big manufacturers was around 20200 yuan / ton, and the ex factory price of organosilicon DMC in domestic manufacturers was around 20200-20800 yuan / ton, compared with the beginning of the month, The price is reduced by about 1000-2000 yuan / ton. At present, the downstream demand for organosilicon DMC is still cautious, and the wait-and-see mood is still on the floor.

 

In terms of upstream metal silicon, in June, the domestic metal silicon product name: 441\t\t market rose as a whole. As of June 27, according to the price monitoring of the business agency, the domestic metal silicon reference price was 19450 yuan / ton, up 12.88% compared with June 1 (17230 yuan / ton).

 

Aftermarket forecast of organosilicon DMC

 

At present, the downstream demand in the organosilicon DMC field is generally quiet, and the demand breakthrough has not yet emerged. Although the demand side support performance is average, the rising metal silicon market at the raw material side has given organosilicon DMC cost support. In addition, the current price has also dropped to the recent low point. The organosilicon DMC datagrapher of the business society believes that in the short term, the domestic organosilicon DMC market is mostly stable and stable, and the possibility of the market continuing to decline significantly is small, Specific trends also need to pay more attention to the basic changes in supply and demand.

On the one hand, although the load of Luxi methane chloride plant was reduced in the early stage, the start-up of domestic methane chloride plant was still at a high level this week (6.10-6.17), and the supply was still under great pressure. On the other hand, with the arrival of high temperature weather in summer, the demand for air conditioning and refrigerant is slightly higher, and the demand for chloroform is not slightly supported.

 

This week (6.10-6.17), the spot price of methanol rose slightly, supported by the cost side. However, the high price of methanol futures fell back, which had a negative impact on the market mentality. According to the business agency, as of June 17, the spot price of methanol was 2715 yuan / ton, up 2.16% from 2657 yuan / ton on June 10. As of June 17, the closing price of the main contract of methanol futures was 2756 yuan / ton, down 5.32% from the closing price of 2911 yuan / ton last Friday.

According to the methane chloride data analyst of business society, Jinling unit began to reduce its load at the weekend. In addition, due to the unexpected impact of Shanghai Petrochemical, the market expects that domestic methane chloride enterprises may have maintenance or load reduction plans, and it is expected that the pressure on domestic supply side may be relieved in the later period. In addition, with the arrival of high temperature weather, the demand for refrigerant will be increased to a certain extent, and the supply and demand side may promote the decline and exploration of chloroform.

By observing the market changes, the price of lithium carbonate continued to rise this week. At present, the downstream iron lithium market scheduling is growing, so the market is in a de stocking state. In the market, the activity of close relatives has been increasing, the demand for orders has increased, and the recovery of terminal demand has led to the recent increase in lithium carbonate prices. Due to the favorable lithium carbonate market, some small and medium-sized enterprises and traders are reluctant to sell their products and offer higher prices.

 

The price of downstream lithium hydroxide remained stable, the price of upstream spodumene was high, the price of upstream lithium carbonate increased slightly, which boosted the market mentality, increased the market supply, and slightly increased the enthusiasm of downstream inquiry, but it was still wait-and-see, the market atmosphere was ok, and the focus of domestic industrial lithium hydroxide Market negotiations was temporarily stable.

 

The price of lithium iron phosphate in the downstream is running smoothly. At present, the supply of the manufacturer is still tight, and the supply is obviously insufficient. The contract customers are mainly responsible for arranging orders and delivering goods, and the number of new orders is limited. The overall market negotiation atmosphere is acceptable, and the price remains high. The price in the upstream is still high, and the price continues to rise. The cost pressure of lithium iron phosphate remains.

 

According to the lithium carbonate analysts of business society, most downstream material factories are in the state of long-term order procurement, while sporadic small and medium-sized enterprises are mainly in the form of just needed procurement. With the gradual recovery of the market demand side market, it is expected that the short-term lithium carbonate price will continue to rise steadily.

Ethylene oxide daily review (June 15, 2022)

The price of ethylene oxide is flat today. At present, the ex factory price is 7350 yuan / ton.

 

Thiourea

In the upstream, the truck driver strike that has caused losses in the supply chain logistics of various industries in South Korea for a week has subsided. However, the operating rate of the steam cracking unit using naphtha as raw material has been reduced from 81% on June 7 to 76% at present. At present, the main downstream PE of ethylene can only reduce the burden to reduce the inventory pressure due to factors such as high factory inventory and compressed profit space, In addition, it still takes time to clear the logistics, and the current market sentiment is still pessimistic. Domestic ethylene price fluctuation is limited, and the industry is cautious in participating in the market. At present, the latest ethylene outer disc price in Northeast Asia is 1010 US dollars / ton, and that in Southeast Asia is 1150 US dollars / ton. Today, Jinshan Lianmao ethylene quoted 8450 yuan / ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. Today, Luxi Chemical ethylene quoted 8250 yuan / ton, up 150 yuan / ton from the previous trading day.

 

The overall atmosphere of downstream monomer negotiation is better than that in the early stage. However, due to the influence of ethylene, it is rumored that EO may have a downward trend. Although it has not been implemented at present, there is still a wait-and-see mentality in the recent monomer market. The manufacturer stimulates the market at a low price, the dealer negotiates the goods at a low price, and the actual price of the landing order is slightly lower. The selling price of hPEG of Linyi Ruihang import and Export Co., Ltd. (Sanjiang monomer) today is 8500 yuan / ton, and the price of hPEG of Maoming Hongfu Chemical Co., Ltd. today is 8750 yuan / ton.

 

Forecast: there is no substantial improvement in downstream demand, the demand side is not strong, the current ethylene oxide supply is still wide, the cost is high, the transmission is blocked, and the short-term rise and fall are limited.

Compared with the price on June 1, 2022 (the average domestic market price of diethylene glycol was 5096 yuan / ton), the price increased by 104 yuan / ton, or 2.03%.

 

Thiourea

It can be seen from the data monitoring of the business community that since June, the diethylene glycol market has been running upward as a whole. In this week, two days before the beginning of the week (the 13th and 14th days), the overall diethylene glycol market was slightly closer to the high-end again, and the market price was raised by about 50-100 yuan / ton. At present, the delivery of diethylene glycol in the market is relatively stable, which supports the strong operation of the market. As of June 14, the market price of diethylene glycol is around 5200-5300 yuan / ton, and the barrel is around 6200-6300 yuan / ton. The wait-and-see atmosphere in the downstream is getting stronger, and the overall demand in the downstream has increased in a narrow range. The high and narrow range fluctuation of the international crude oil market has slightly dampened the confidence of the industry. At present, the trading atmosphere in the diethylene glycol field is acceptable, and most transactions are mainly through negotiation.

 

At present, the supply and demand side of diethylene glycol market changes little in the short term. In terms of international crude oil, the market may still be boosted in the short term, and the overall support for diethylene glycol is still relatively stable. The diethylene glycol datagrapher of business society believes that in the short term, the diethylene glycol market is mostly stable, mainly for consolidation and operation, and more attention should be paid to the changes in the cost side and demand side.
