According to the data of business agency, the chloroform market fluctuated slightly this week (6.10-6.17). As of June 17, the price of chloroform bulk water in Shandong was 3312 yuan / ton, up 1.15% from 3275 yuan / ton last Friday.

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.

The downstream refrigerant market of chloroform is running at a high level. With the arrival of high temperature weather, the demand for chloroform is slightly warmer, which has a certain support for chloroform.

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.
