On March 3, the fluorite commodity index was 103.51, unchanged from yesterday, down 18.81% from the peak of 127.49 points in the cycle (2019-01-03), and up 110.34% from the low of 49.21 points on December 18, 2016. (Note: Period refers to 2011-09-01 to date)

According to statistics, the recent domestic fluorite price trend continued to decline, the average domestic fluorite price was 2930 yuan/ton as of the 4th day. Due to the warmer weather, the recent start-up of domestic fluorite devices, the opening of mines and flotation devices, the supply of fluorite in the field increased relatively, but the recent downstream market is not good, the price of fluorite market slightly declined. Recently, the temperature has risen and the start-up rate of fluorite flotation units in the North has risen, but the downstream units have started to operate normally, the fluorite spot supply in the field is sufficient, and the downstream terminal receipts are not active, resulting in a decline in market prices. As of the 1st day, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Inner Mongolia is 2400-3000 yuan/ton, the mainstream of 97 fluorite wet powder in Fujian is 2700-3100 yuan/ton, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Henan is 2600-3100 yuan/ton, the price of 97 fluorite wet powder in Jiangxi is 2600-3100 yuan/ton, and the price of fluorite is declining.

The market price of hydrofluoric acid in the downstream of fluorite declined. As of the 4th day, the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid was 11075 yuan/ton, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid continued to decline. In addition, the upstream refrigerant product plant started generally, the upstream fluorite and hydrofluoric acid demand has weakened, the recent downstream refrigerant market is cool, the price of hydrofluoric acid products slightly lower. Recent downstream refrigerant market transactions are cool, R22 refrigerant plant surface starts at 70%, R22 market device start-up rate does not change much, the main production enterprise bulk water factory offer price is 1700-18500 yuan/ton, but the production enterprise does not have bulk water spot, mainly a small number of cylinders shipment. In addition, the actual demand side of the market has declined, and the shipment market trend is poor. The domestic market price of R134a fluctuates, the start-up rate of production enterprises is low, the refrigerant market demand is weakened, and the manufacturers mainly export their products. However, the on-site transaction price has not changed much, and the upstream market demand for hydrofluoric acid has weakened due to on-demand purchasing by merchants. Generally speaking, there are many downstream negative factors, together with the restart of fluorite market devices, fluorite prices have a downward trend, Business Analyst Chen Ling believes that the fluorite market prices may continue to fall.
