In the first ten days of April, due to many positive factors in the dimethyl ether Market, the price continued to rise. On the one hand, the market focus of raw material methanol has moved up, and the upward cost has brought obvious benefits to the dimethyl ether Market. On the other hand, the LPG market began to rise on March 22, and the price difference between gas and ether gradually widened, boosting the market mentality. Finally, on the supply side, affected by many factors, the operating rate of dimethyl ether Market has declined compared with the previous period. At present, the operating rate of domestic dimethyl ether Market is only about 12%. And after the Qingming Festival holiday, there is a demand for downstream storage and replenishment.

On the whole, the methanol cost market stopped falling and rising, but the range was limited. The civil LPG market continued to rise, and the rise was significantly narrowed compared with the previous period, which brought general benefits to the market. On the supply side, the operating rate of dimethyl ether Market has increased in the past week. At present, the operating rate of the market is about 13.5%, and the supply is relatively sufficient. On the demand side, a new round of replenishment in the lower reaches has ended, and the resistance to high prices has increased, and they have withdrawn from the market to wait and see.

In April, the market began to repair one after another, and the market supply decreased, which brought obvious support to the market. Secondly, on April 8, the sharp rise of international crude oil brought good news to the market. In addition, after the holiday, there is a certain demand for replenishment in the downstream, the market entry is more positive, the market transaction atmosphere is better, the upstream inventory is low, the manufacturer’s mentality is better, and the price is pushed up to a high level one after another. At present, there are some differences between the north and the south in the domestic propane Market. The rising trend in the north is stronger than that in the south.

In terms of international market, Saudi Aramco announced in April that there was a downward trend in propane butane. Propane was 560 US dollars / ton, down 65 US dollars / ton compared with the previous month; butane was 530 US dollars / ton, down 65 US dollars / ton compared with the previous month.

On April 13, the small rise of international crude oil brought some support to the market, while Shandong propane market was still pushing up steadily. Although the range was narrower than that of the previous few days, the market transaction atmosphere was mild, and the upstream LPG market was also on the upward route. Generally speaking, the price in the northern market has risen to a relatively high level, while the price in the southern market is relatively low, and the inventory in Shandong market is mostly controllable. However, the bad news is still there. The weather is warming up, and the market demand is expected to decline. It is expected that the propane market will be relatively strong in the short term, with sporadic rise, but there is still a possibility of decline in the long term.

Recently, longmang Baili and other titanium dioxide enterprises have started a new round of price adjustment. Driven by market demand, the price of titanium dioxide continues to rise.

According to wind data, the titanium dioxide index fell 1.92% by the end of the 12th. Among the 10 stocks in the plate, 8 fell, 1 rose and 1 was flat. Huiyun titanium industry led the decline, down 4.98%, longmang Baili down 4.28%, BaoTi shares down 3.95%, Jinpu titanium industry down 0.66%, CNNC titanium white flat, Panzhihua Steel Vanadium Titanium rose 2.14%.

According to the data of Baichuan yingfu.com, as of April 12, the current market mainstream quotation of rutile titanium dioxide by sulfuric acid method is 20000-21000 yuan / ton, anatase titanium dioxide market mainstream quotation is 17300-18000 yuan / ton, and chlorination titanium dioxide market mainstream quotation is 22000-24000 yuan / ton.

In recent two weeks, titanium dioxide rose like a rainbow. On the 11th, longmang Baili announced that from now on, the sales price of various types of titanium dioxide (including sulfuric acid titanium dioxide and chlorination titanium dioxide) will be increased by 1000 yuan / ton for domestic customers and 150 US dollars / ton for international customers on the basis of the original price. Since the end of March, with Huiyun titanium industry taking the lead in price increase, the titanium dioxide market has started a new round of price increase since this year. Up to now, more than 20 enterprises, such as CNNC titanium dioxide, Jinpu titanium industry and longmang Baili, have announced to increase the price of titanium dioxide.

In terms of price information, mainstream enterprises have basically maintained a price increase of 1000 yuan / ton at home and 150 US dollars / ton at abroad. Among them, some manufacturers in Southwest China sent letters twice, with a total increase of 2100 yuan / ton. The two letters were only ten days apart.

Kaiyuan securities recently released a research report showing that the prices of titanium concentrate, anatase titanium dioxide and rutile titanium dioxide increased by 10.34%, 12.66% and 5.18% respectively in the past 30 days.

Titanium dioxide is one of the main products of titanium coating industry chain. Mainly used in plastics, coatings, paper, ink, chemical fiber, cosmetics and other industries. Western securities analysis pointed out that in April, the rising price of titanium dioxide was fierce, because the raw material titanium ore increased too much. Small and medium-sized factories mainly purchased titanium ore, which was limited by the price of raw materials. In addition, the current market demand was relatively strong, so manufacturers took orders first and then produced. For the expected price change of raw materials, they need to make advance quantity, and then reasonably price and schedule production according to the orders in hand. From the perspective of this round of price adjustment, we can basically conclude that the market continues to be high and upward.

3、 Future forecast

In the middle of April, the market trend of isooctanol in Shandong Province may fluctuate slightly. The upstream propylene market rose slightly, the raw material support was good, the downstream DOP market was consolidated at a high level, the downstream purchasing enthusiasm was normal, and the supply of isooctanol was general. Isooctanol analysts from business news agency believe that: in mid April, under the influence of supply and demand, raw materials and other aspects, the isooctanol market in Shandong may rise slightly.

From April 5 to April 9, 2021, the market price of antimony ingot in East China rose slightly, at 72750 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week and 72750 yuan / ton at the end of the week, which was flat this week.

On April 8, the antimony commodity index was 101.28, which was the same as yesterday, decreased by 1.02% compared with 102.32 (2012-10-16), the highest point in the cycle, and increased by 115.58% compared with 46.98, the lowest point on December 24, 2015. (Note: period refers to the period from September 8, 2012 to now).

This week, the antimony ingot market continued to maintain a high and stable trend. In the past month, the price continued to be stable, the market supply and demand situation was slightly balanced, most of the transactions were purchased on demand, and the downstream was in a strong wait-and-see mood. Antimony ingot manufacturers supply is still tight, strong willingness to price. The environmental protection supervision team has been stationed in Shanxi, Liaoning, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Guangxi, Yunnan and other provinces. The follow-up will have a certain impact on the smelting of antimony ingot.

As of April 9, the average price of two low bismuth antimony ingots was 70500 yuan / ton, one high bismuth antimony ingot was 72000 yuan / ton, one high bismuth antimony ingot was 73000 yuan / ton, and the average price of two high bismuth antimony ingots was 65500 yuan / ton.

At present, the price of antimony ingot has been at a historical high, and the downstream pressure is relatively large. In the future, without obvious impact on the basic supply and demand side, it is expected that the price of antimony ingot is still high and stable. In the future, we will focus on the impact of environmental protection supervision on the start-up of smelters in the main production areas.

According to the data monitoring of business news agency, since March, the trichloromethane market in Shandong Province has gone up and down, with a price of 3030 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month, a peak of 4310 yuan / ton at the middle of the month, and then dropped to 3750 yuan / ton at the end of the month, with an overall amplitude of 42.24% within the month and an increase of 23.76% at the end of the month compared with the beginning of the month.

First of all, affected by the enterprise burden reduction and low inventory, the spot supply of chloroform in Shandong was tight in March. According to the business news agency, Jinling Dongying methane chloride plant was shut down in mid March, Jinmao methane chloride plant was shut down, Dongyue’s start-up load was not high, and about 90% of Luxi’s start-up was near, so the market supply was slightly tight. In the first ten days of the middle month, the downstream refrigerant manufacturers increased their stock, the trichloromethane shipment was smooth, and the price went up all the way. In the second ten days of the middle month, as the price of methane chloride was on the high side, the downstream was in conflict with the high price of trichloromethane, the transaction was weak, and the ex factory price of methane chloride manufacturers was moderately reduced. According to the monitoring of the business agency, as of March 31, the ex factory price of trichloromethane in Jinling, Shandong Province was about 3750 yuan / ton. The ex factory price of trichloromethane bulk water in Luxi Chemical Industry is 3500 yuan / ton.

Secondly, the price of raw materials is high and the cost is relatively strong. In March, the price of liquid chlorine rose sharply, while the price of methanol remained high, with strong cost support. According to the business news agency, the mainstream ex factory price of liquid chlorine for tank cars in Shandong Province increased from 1600 yuan / ton at the beginning of March to 2100 yuan / ton at the end of March; the price of methanol increased from 2295 yuan / ton at the beginning of March to 2377 yuan / ton at the end of March, with a slight increase of 3.59%.

Finally, at the beginning of March, there were sufficient orders for downstream refrigerants, the merchants were active in preparing goods, the overall shipment was smooth, and the start-up of manufacturers was relatively high; in the middle and late ten days, the demand for downstream refrigerants declined, the peak of foreign trade orders ended, and the domestic trade orders continued to be weak and stable.

According to the methane chloride data of business news agency, the inventory pressure of trichloromethane production enterprises in Shandong is not big, the raw material price rises sharply, and the cost support is relatively strong. Although the demand side drops slightly in the short term, the downstream refrigerants still need to be supported in the later period as the weather gets warmer. It is predicted that the price of trichloromethane will rise steadily in April.

In March, the domestic ethanol market went down in a narrow range. According to the sample data monitored by the business community, the domestic ethanol market price was 7262 yuan / ton on March 1, and the domestic butadiene market price was 7187 yuan / ton on March 31, with a decrease of 1.03% and a year-on-year increase of 36.58%.

In terms of regional market conditions, the northeast, East China and Henan markets are down, the South China and Guangxi molasses ethanol market is weak, the Dongguan ethanol market is down, the Anhui market is weak, the Sichuan market is weak, and the Yunnan market is stable.

From the perspective of raw material corn, this month’s raw material corn market went down, dipingliang (Chaoliang) concentrated on the market, traders were eager to ship, the arrival volume of deep-processing enterprises increased, and enterprises took advantage of the trend to lower prices; African swine fever made a comeback, feed demand decreased; recent increase in corn imports, all of these factors combined to form a bad effect on corn. From the perspective of demand, terminal enterprises recover slowly, demand power is insufficient, and downstream enterprises purchase on demand.

This month, the logistics price will come to the top. The price of shipping from Jilin to Shandong is 140 yuan / ton, and from Heilongjiang to northern Jiangsu is 300 yuan / ton.

Some northeast enterprises have maintenance plan in April, but due to the limited downstream demand, the inventory is high, so the maintenance can not relieve the pressure. In the lower reaches, there will be a small increase in demand for Baijiu and a steady demand for ethyl acetate in chemical industry. Ethanol analysts of business associations expect that the supply of the market will be weak and the domestic ethanol market will be mainly sorted out after the short-term market supply is greater than demand.

1、 Price trend

According to the data monitoring of the business club’s block list, the price of bromine rose this month. At the beginning of the month, the average market price was about 34277.78 yuan / ton, and at the end of the month, the average market price was 35055.56 yuan / ton, up 2.27%, 16.85% over the same period last year.

(Note: period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

2、 Market analysis

At present, the mainstream price of domestic bromine enterprises is about 35000-36500 yuan / ton, and the price of bromine is relatively strong. The bromine market in Shandong Province is in short supply, and the downstream flame retardants and intermediates are well started, so the demand for bromine is acceptable. Most bromine manufacturers have the intention to support the price, and the low price is hard to find.

In terms of raw materials: sulfur will rise first and then decrease this month. According to the price monitoring of business news agency, the average price of sulfur production in East China on March 30 was 1456.67 yuan / ton, down 1.35% from yesterday’s price. At present, the domestic price of solid sulfur is 1360-1490 yuan / ton, and the price of liquid sulfur is 1300-1460 yuan / ton. Refineries in various regions adjust their prices according to their own shipment situation, and the solid and liquid sulfur in North China and Shandong are slightly reduced. At present, refineries in various regions in China have low inventory, low purchasing enthusiasm in the downstream market and weak support. They are mainly in a standoff and wait-and-see situation. The demand of phosphate fertilizer industry in the downstream is stable. Coupled with the approaching of spring ploughing fertilizer, they have certain support for sulfur, and the sulfur market will wait-and-see in the later stage .

Analysts from business news agency believe that the downstream flame retardant and intermediate industry of bromine is developing well, and the demand for bromine is good. The overall inventory of bromine is low, and the supply of bromine is tight. The bromine manufacturers have obvious intention to support the price. It is expected that the price of bromine will still rise slightly in the short term, depending on the downstream market demand.

As shown in the figure above, on March 29, copper prices rose slightly, with spot copper price of 66283.33 yuan / ton, up 0.93% from the previous trading day, 14.37% from the beginning of the year, and 70.26% from a year earlier.

Suez Canal congestion, ships may bypass South Africa, causing transport costs concerns, London Metal Exchange (LME) on March 26, the latest inventory of Lun copper reported 123800 tons, compared with the previous trading day increased 2125 tons, an increase of 1.75%. Last week, copper stocks in the previous period increased slightly by 987 tons to 188359 tons, with a cumulative increase of 183.97% in the last eight weeks. China’s copper smelters decided not to set a minimum standard for the second quarter copper processing and refining charges (TC / RCS), saying that there is sufficient concentrate supply and the overhaul period is coming, which may reduce the supply of 200000 tons of copper. At present, the processing and refining charges have dropped to a 10-year low. It is expected that the short-term fluctuation of copper price is relatively strong and the operation is dominated.
