3、 Later outlook

Under the influence of the global epidemic, the prospect of crude oil demand is under pressure. Although pure benzene is supported, at present, the profit point of styrene has been opened, and pure benzene can no longer guide the trend of styrene. The maintenance plan of styrene unit in August has been gradually implemented, the inventory has decreased slightly, the downstream will gradually transition to the peak season, and there are plans to put new units into operation. With the operating rate rising gradually, The demand for styrene will also increase slightly. On the whole, the supply and demand of styrene in the short term is better than expected, and the price of raw material pure benzene has stabilized, but there is still no strong support point for the rebound. It is expected that the trend of styrene in the short term will fluctuate and rebound.

Aniline: positive: the price of raw materials fell, and the profit space of aniline rebounded; The inventory of aniline enterprises is not high, and some units are still in shutdown. Bad: affected by the epidemic in some areas, logistics is limited, factory shipments are blocked, and prices are down slightly. The price in Shandong is 10400-10600 yuan / ton, and the price of aniline in Nanjing is 10600-10700 yuan / ton, down 0.63% from last week.

3、 Future forecast

In terms of crude oil, the global spread of mutated virus and the increase of crude oil production may depress the oil price, and the oil price trend is expected to be weak next week. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the impact of the epidemic situation, OPEC + decisions on crude oil production, the inventory dynamics of crude oil and refined oil in the United States, and the global economic situation on crude oil prices.

Downstream: styrene, the main downstream product: in August, the supply of styrene will increase. The downstream maintenance units have been restarted one after another. It just needs to recover, but the increment is expected to be limited. In addition, the upstream pure benzene is expected to be weak, and the short-term styrene market is expected to be weak and volatile.

Although the shipment of pure benzene enterprises is blocked and the downstream demand is insufficient, the price continues to decline, and the downstream profit space rebounds, or stimulates purchase. It is expected that the pure benzene will fluctuate weakly next week. Pay attention to the impact of logistics, downstream market, domestic pure benzene plant dynamics, crude oil, external market and other trends on the price of pure benzene.

On August 9, after the rise over the weekend, the domestic LNG market continued to rise. The prices of Shaanxi, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia and other places generally increased, and some areas fell slightly, but there is no doubt that the market focus has shifted upward. This round of liquid prices stopped rising, benefiting from the cost support, the tight price of imported gas goods was boosted, and after the liquid price fell last week, the heat of downstream inquiry increased. At the same time, some liquid plants recently planned to shut down for maintenance, tighten the supply, lay more profits, and the domestic liquid price market continued to run strong in the off-season. At present, 5150-5550 yuan / ton in Inner Mongolia, 5400-5550 yuan / ton in Shaanxi, 5330-5630 yuan / ton in Shanxi, 5360-5520 yuan / ton in Ningxia, 5350-5600 yuan / ton in Henan and 5200-5400 yuan / ton in Hebei. The inlet gas price is about 4600-5950 yuan / ton. The domestic liquid price and export gas price increase hand in hand, and the price difference is small.

region Specifications August 9th August 6th Rise and fall

Inner Mongolia liquified natural gas 5150-5550 4850-5250 + 300/+300

Shaanxi liquified natural gas 5400-5550 4890-5100 + 510/+450

Dichloromethane, on August 9, the liquid ammonia Market in Shandong remained stable. At the beginning of the week, the liquid ammonia Market in Shandong remained stable. Today, the manufacturers generally reported stability. The amount of ammonia in this area gradually accumulated. Although large factories are facing maintenance, due to the impact of the epidemic, the traffic is affected to a certain extent, the manufacturer’s shipment speed slows down and the inventory is significantly higher than that in the early stage. At present, the mainstream price in the region is 4650-4750 yuan / ton. It is expected that the overhaul unit will tighten the output, the ammonia volume will gradually decrease, and the price will stabilize or rebound.

On August 9, the urea market in Shandong fell, the price of upstream LNG fell slightly recently, and the cost support weakened. From the aspect of demand: the agricultural demand is general, and the industrial demand is normal; The operation of downstream compound fertilizer and rubber plate plants is not high, and the operating load rate of melamine enterprises remains high. Most of them are used with mining and followed up with a proper amount of bargain hunting. In terms of supply, urea has entered the off-season of agricultural demand, and the parking and maintenance plants are relatively concentrated. The daily output of domestic urea has decreased to about 138000 tons, with a significant reduction in daily output. In terms of transportation: affected by the epidemic situation in some areas, logistics and transportation are limited. On the whole, the urea cost support is weakened, the downstream demand is weakened, the urea supply is tight, and the logistics transportation is limited.

3、 Future forecast

The LNG analyst of business agency believes that: at present, the cost support is strong, and the high price of imported gas continues to boost the domestic liquid price. After the early price adjustment, the shipping atmosphere of the liquid plant has improved, and the sentiment of supporting the market is strong. In the short term, the domestic LNG market is strong, and the price continues to rise.

According to the monitoring of business agency, the price of activated carbon was 9166 yuan / ton at the beginning of this week and 91633 yuan / ton at the end of this week, with a price drop of 0.36%.

The domestic price of activated carbon has been reduced slightly. At present, the ex factory price of activated carbon for coconut shell water purification in East China is between 9500-12500 yuan / ton; The downstream of domestic activated carbon is delivered on demand, and the market is lack of good news support, and the downstream is mainly wait-and-see.

Activated carbon is rich in raw materials, including coal, sawdust and straw. Activated carbon suitable for water treatment is prepared through a series of processes. At the same time, activated carbon manufacturers are constantly improving the performance of activated carbon, increasing its working capacity and effectively adsorbing and purifying wastewater.

Forecast: the downstream demand of the activated carbon market is general, and the on-site trading lacks positive boost. It is expected that the short-term activated carbon market may be dominated by weak operation.
