The low price of PX in the external market fluctuated at a low level. The domestic PX market has a high degree of external dependence, and the low external price has a certain negative impact on the domestic price.

In November, the domestic market price of p-xylene declined slightly, and the domestic PX operating rate was about 60%. Sinochem Hongrun Petrochemical Co., Ltd. put into operation a 600000 ton new unit, Yangzi Petrochemical plant was in stable operation, fuhaichuang plant was in the first line, Pengzhou petrochemical plant was in stable operation, Yangzi Petrochemical PX unit was in normal operation, Jinling Petrochemical plant was running smoothly, and Qingdao Lidong unit was operating at full load The operation of Shandong Petrochemical plant is stable, and Urumqi petrochemical plant is about 50%. The domestic supply of p-xylene is normal, the demand is not improved, and the price trend of p-xylene is falling. The international crude oil price rose in November, while the external price of PX rose. As of the 26th, the closing prices in Asia were 546-548 US dollars / ton FOB Korea and 564-566 US dollars / ton CFR China.

With the recovery of foreign economy, the closing price of international crude oil at the end of November fluctuated around $45 / barrel. As of the 26th, the main contract settlement price of WTI crude oil futures market in the United States was at $45.71/november, which was mainly affected by the decline of US crude oil inventory data. However, three sources close to OPEC recently said that despite the rise in oil prices, OPEC, including Russia, had increased Novel coronavirus pneumonia is likely to postpone the planned oil production plan next year, which will support the market during the second wave of new crown pneumonia and Libya’s oil production. Crude oil prices have risen, but domestic market prices for p-xylene have been slightly lower.

In November, the price trend of downstream PTA market rose slightly, while the domestic PTA spot market rose. As of the end of the month, the average price of PTA market was about 3400 yuan / ton, and PTA price rose by 1.66% in November. The main reason is that the international oil price continued to rise in November. On the one hand, the positive news of the new crown vaccine boosted the demand expectation; on the other hand, according to the news released from the market, OPEC + is expected to further maintain the current super scale production reduction, which is beneficial to the supply expectation. At the end of November, PTA began to accelerate the accumulation of inventory, and Fujian Baihong new production capacity was planned to be put into operation next month, resulting in increased supply pressure. In addition, the textile industry has entered the traditional off-season, new orders in the market are not good, and the inventory level rises after purchasing raw materials on a bargain. Therefore, it is expected that the purchase intention is not strong in the short term, and the wait-and-see sentiment is strong, and the price trend of PX market is limited.

Chen Ling, PX analyst of the business agency, believes that the new production capacity will have a certain impact on the market. In addition, the production and sales of polyester in the downstream have fallen down, and PTA market is facing a downward risk. In addition, the crude oil price fluctuates at a high level. It is expected that the market price of p-xylene in December will not change much.

On November 23, the futures and futures rose hand in hand, and the spot rise was more prominent. Among them, high-pressure varieties led the rise, followed by linear varieties, while low-pressure varieties were driven by the other two varieties to follow up slightly.

Secondly, the futures market continued to rise sharply, which obviously supported the trading atmosphere of the spot market. International crude oil and ethylene prices continue to rise in recent years, bringing certain benefits to the market.

The yarn Market in Hangzhou, Suzhou and Jiaxing is generally good. Affected by the epidemic situation, the market situation was poor from March to May this year. Since May, it began to improve, and recently the market has declined. The production opening rate of the enterprise has basically reached 100%, and the product inventory is small. However, some enterprises have also reflected that due to the recent market downturn, the yarn price has dropped and the profit margin is low.

Yarn manufacturers started normal as a whole. Recently, yarn prices began to decline. Under the double influence of the end of the “double 11″ market and the aggravation of overseas epidemic situation, domestic and foreign orders decreased significantly. In the future market and the lack of downstream demand, yarn market is difficult to have a good market. Due to the later manufacturers to prepare goods for the new year, so the current good, is expected to maintain orders until the end of December.

The supply and demand side is not good. Some polyester factories in the upstream promote their sales, but the production and sales are not prosperous as a whole. The average production and sales of mainstream large factories are 100% – 150%, and some of the better factories are 170%. The overall inventory is concentrated in 24-36 days.

The export market cannot recover in the short term, and the domestic market potential needs to be continuously released. Hope that at the end of this month, spring and summer fabrics will be placed in succession. However, due to the increase of uncertain factors in the market, the downstream garment enterprises have little confidence in the market. At present, the whole state of the textile industry chain seems to be very similar to that when it just returned to work at the beginning of the year. In the short term, the market is not very optimistic, and the yarn price may continue to fall in the later period.

Market Overview

However, in the global market, affected by the epidemic situation, the sales of major mobile phones and new energy vehicles in Europe and the United States dropped sharply, and the overall demand of cobalt market declined. The recovery of domestic cobalt market demand is difficult to change the overall market trend of weak global cobalt market demand, and the rising motivation of cobalt price is insufficient.
