2、 Market analysis

At present, the domestic bromine price is weak. At present, the mainstream price of Shandong enterprises is about 49000-53000 yuan / ton, and the bromine price is down as a whole this month. At present, the inventory of domestic bromine enterprises is low and they are not in a hurry to ship. At present, the operation of bromine downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries is low, which is in conflict with high price bromine and mainly focuses on multi-dimensional rigid demand. Supply and demand play a game.

Raw materials: sulfur prices rose this month. At the beginning of the month, the average market price was 2000 yuan / ton, and at the end of the month, the average market price was 2026.67 yuan / ton, with a price increase of 1.33%. There is no inventory pressure on refinery enterprises in various regions, and the market trading is OK. The enthusiasm of downstream sulfuric acid to enter the market for procurement is general, the market demand for liquid sulfur is weak, and the market demand for phosphate fertilizer has increased. In the future, we will wait and see the consolidation of the sulfur market and pay attention to the downstream follow-up.

Business analysts believe that the overall demand growth of bromine is relatively slow. Now the downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries of bromine are resistant to the high price of bromine, mainly purchasing on demand, and the downstream support for bromine is insufficient. It is comprehensively expected that the short-term bromine price will be weak in the later period, depending on the downstream market demand.
