In July, the price of sodium metabisulfite fell weakly

Price trend of domestic sodium pyrosulfite

 

EDTA

According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of domestic sodium pyrosulfite continued to decline in July. The average price of industrial sodium pyrosulfite was 3350.00 yuan / ton on July 1 and 3033.33 yuan / ton on July 29, with an overall decline of 9.45% in the month.

 

Affected by the continuous decline of upstream raw material prices, some manufacturers reduced the factory price of sodium pyrosulfite slightly in July, driving the overall market price of domestic sodium pyrosulfite to rise and fall. With the price of upstream raw materials further falling, the downstream trade subjects have a strong wait-and-see attitude, and the increase of new orders of manufacturers is limited. In order to ensure shipment, manufacturers have successively reduced the ex factory price again, driving the domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price to continue to decline in July.

 

Melamine

In July, the price of domestic soda ash fell slightly, falling by 3.42% during the month, the price of domestic sulfur plummeted by 73.91%, the price of upstream raw materials fell sharply, and the overall market price of domestic sodium pyrosulfite was under pressure in the future under the pressure of cost transmission.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

According to the analysts of business agency, the cost of raw materials continues to decline, downstream procurement is more cautious, and under the dual pressure of cost and demand, it is expected that the domestic sodium pyrosulfite market price will still have some room to fall in August.

Cost collapse, weak demand, PA66 market low

Price trend

 

EDTA

According to the bulk list data of business society, the domestic PA66 market fell in July, and the spot prices of various brands fell. As of July 28, the ex factory price of PA66 adhesive injection molding sample enterprises of business club was about 21000 yuan / ton on average, with an increase or decrease of -21.50% compared with the average price at the beginning of the month.

 

Cause analysis

 

Industrial chain: upstream, the domestic adipic acid price continued to decline in July. Upstream pure benzene fluctuated and fell due to the impact of intensified international crude oil fluctuations, and the decline of cyclohexanone, cyclohexane and other products deepened, and the negative cost side intensified. In addition, the high inventory pressure in the early stage, the price reduction of the manufacturer’s inventory, the pressure on the market mentality, and the light market demand and other reasons. In the later stage, the business community believes that under the background of inflation, the global central bank’s interest rate hike will bring down demand expectations, and the short-term oil price will still be suppressed. Therefore, pure benzene may still be difficult to make much progress. The pressure on the manufacturer’s inventory is still prominent. Except Zhonghao, the device gradually resumes operation, Xinjiang Tianli reduces the load by 50%, and other devices operate normally. The pressure on the supply side still suppresses the price of adipic acid. Adipic acid market is expected to remain weak.

 

Melamine

Adipic acid, the upstream raw material, fell sharply, and adiponitrile was in abundant supply in the market. The sharp fluctuations of international crude oil are bad for the petrochemical industry chain, and the cost side support of PA66 is weak. In terms of industry operating rate, due to the continuous pressure on the profits of PA66 enterprises, the domestic PA66 industry load level continued to fall in July, but the spot supply in the market is still abundant, and the supply pressure is difficult to solve. The inventory position of the port is acceptable, and the arrival volume of overseas goods is general. In terms of demand, at present, terminal enterprises take goods and follow up, preferring just to maintain production, and have strong resistance to high price supply. In the traditional off-season, the demand of downstream factories shrinks, the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent, and merchants have great resistance to shipping. The transaction on the floor fell, and the seller’s mentality was not good, so he gradually tried to reduce the yield order.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

Business analysts believe that the spot price of PA66 fell at a low level in July. The adiponitrile market at the raw material end is weak, and the cost side support of PA66 is weakened. The load of PA66 enterprises has been reduced by a narrow margin, but there is a deep contradiction between supply and demand in the market. The demand side is not enough to take goods, and the market trading has continued to be sluggish. It is expected that PA66 will continue to be affected by the contradiction between supply and demand in the short term and continue its weak market.

Viscose staple fiber continued the stalemate, and cotton yarn prices fell significantly

Last week (July 18-24), viscose staple fiber continued to run in a stalemate, prices fell, factory inventories increased, and the market was facing downward pressure. Manufacturers actively support prices, most of them offer stable prices, and most of them say they would rather reduce production than reduce prices. Some viscose staple fiber factories adopt the method of reducing production speed, so as to alleviate the contradiction between the current market downturn and rising inventory, and delay their own pulp inventory consumption. The number of factories signing orders was limited, and the production and sales were weak, which began to fall into a stalemate. Most cotton mills believed that the price of viscose staple fiber was difficult to maintain the current situation. Downstream cotton yarn prices fell significantly, popularity was relatively low, trading was light, and the overall inventory of the industry was still rising.

However, the demand for cotton yarn from downstream people is light, showing a situation of price without market, the factory inventory increases, the factory mentality is cautious, and the willingness to stabilize the price is strong.

 

Aftermarket forecast

 

The cost pressure is not reduced, and it is difficult for viscose staple fiber factories to make concessions, but the demand for textile terminals continues to be flat, the trading volume has always been general, and the downstream order taking volume has always been general, and the whole viscose staple fiber industry chain has entered a stalemate. Viscose staple fiber showed a trend of price without market, and factory inventory increased. Business analysts predicted that the price of viscose staple fiber would face downward pressure.
