In September, affected by the dual control policy of energy consumption, the domestic supply of chloroform was tight and the market price rose sharply. In the middle of the month, the market speculation mentality was strong, and the market price of chloroform rose sharply to around 5000 yuan / ton. Later, with the follow-up of downstream demand and the end of the market speculation mentality, the market price of chloroform gradually returned to around 4100 ~ 4300 yuan / ton. Overall, due to tight supply, the price at the end of the month still increased by about 1000 yuan / ton compared with the end of the month.

According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of chloroform in Shandong was 3150 yuan / ton at the beginning of September and 4187 yuan / ton at the end of September, an increase of 32.94% compared with the beginning of the month.

The price of raw methanol rose and the cost side was supported.

However, affected by weak demand, the profit giving sales price of enterprises will return to some extent; Overall, the price of chloroform will remain around 4000 yuan / ton in the short term.
