2、 Market analysis
This week, the price of bromine has remained strong, with a reference price of 28000-31000 yuan/ton for spot bromine production in Shandong region. Due to weather and policy reasons, bromine companies are facing tight inventory, and downstream companies are mainly in urgent need. In terms of raw materials, domestic sulfur prices have been rising, with an average market price of 2604.33 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week and 2617.67 yuan/ton over the weekend. The price has increased by 0.51%, which is 81.78% higher than the same period last year. Downstream demand is still acceptable.
Prediction: Bromine prices are expected to remain strong in the near future, with upstream sulfur prices rising. Bromine prices are expected to improve this week, while downstream demand is expected to increase. Overall market activity is moderate. It is expected that bromine will continue to consolidate and operate in the later period, depending on downstream market demand.
