However, some coking enterprises slightly increased compared with the previous period when the supply was tight.

 

In terms of demand, the blast furnace operation rate of downstream steel plants is still high, and the demand for coke is good. In the early stage, more coke is purchased by steel mills, and the coke inventory of steel mills is rising recently. Most of the steel mills purchase slows down, and they are against the high price coke, so the coke market is under pressure.

This month, the coke market rose three times on the 7th, 16th and 28th, with a cumulative increase of 150 yuan / ton. The steel start-up in this month is still at a high level, and the demand for coke is good. Under the influence of the policy of “determining production by coal” in Shandong Province in the first ten days, most of the local coking enterprises limited their production, and the supply in Shandong was tight, and the inventory was generally low. At the same time, the “Shanxi win the blue sky defense war conference” in Shanxi Province required some coke enterprises to open the production restriction, with the intensity of production restriction of about 20%. The local supply in Shanxi area was tight, and the order demand of coking enterprises was good, the shipment was positive, and the inventory was low, They are more positive about raising prices. In the middle and late ten days, the intensity of production restriction in Fenyang District of Shanxi Province increased to about 40%, and the situation of tight supply in some areas was further deepened. Under the promotion of production restriction policies in Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, the fifth round was implemented soon. After the fifth round of increase, the coking enterprises had a positive attitude and were generally optimistic about the future market, and then started the sixth round of raising 50 yuan / ton. At present, China’s main coke production areas are concentrated in Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shandong and other provinces, among which Shandong and Hebei are still the main iron and steel production areas. Therefore, the policies of Shandong and Shanxi have a far-reaching impact on the coke market. On the 28th, with the purchase price of coke of mainstream steel mills in Shandong and Hebei increased by 50 yuan / ton, marking the sixth round of increase fully implemented, and this month’s rise in coke prices has temporarily come to an end. As of May 29, Shanxi Province reported 1800-1900 yuan / ton of quasi primary wet quenching coke, up 150 yuan / ton from the same period last month.

In June, the domestic steel market as a whole continued the rising trend in May, with steel prices “rising first and then stabilizing”. From the spot price point of view, the growth trend of the plate market is obviously better than that of long timber, and the increase is almost twice. Only thread prices showed a small decline. As of the 24th, the profit rate of 247 steel mills nationwide was 95.24%, a record high; and the average monthly profit rate of the past year was obviously at a high point, and rose for four consecutive months. It shows that the steel plant is still “profitable” at the current high price level of raw materials. The profit of steel enterprises in the second quarter may have a large growth space. The steel market is heating up, and the demand for coke procurement is strong, and the cost support of coke market is strong.

 

The Business Association believes that with the implementation of production restriction in Shandong and Shanxi, the supply of coke in some areas has been in short supply. The coke inventory remains low, and the demand of downstream steel mills is well supported. On June 30, the policy of capacity reduction in Xuzhou will be fully implemented, which will have a certain impact on the coke production in Xuzhou. The demand for coke from downstream steel mills will continue to be good, and it is expected that the future market of Coke will still remain There is room for growth, and the high level is mainly stable in the short term.

Shandong re approved the production capacity of 41 “two types” coal mines: according to Shandong Provincial Energy Bureau, Shandong will re check and approve the mining intensity and production capacity of 41 “two types” coal mines with rock burst and coal and gas outburst coal mines, scientifically determine the production capacity of coal mines with serious disasters, and prevent and contain major coal mine accidents. It is understood that the mining intensity of two types of mines in the whole province should be determined scientifically. All coal mining enterprises should strictly implement relevant requirements, carry out mining intensity assessment for all “two types” coal mines with normal production, re determine the production capacity of “two types” coal mines, and formulate “one mine, one side, one head and one policy”. At the same time, the production capacity of “two types” coal mines was newly approved. According to the number of mining working faces and the advancing speed determined by the mining intensity assessment, the production capacity of the mining system is recalculated according to the principle of only reducing but not increasing. Shandong Province will simultaneously carry out relevant work in accordance with the “coal mine self inspection, municipal comprehensive review, and provincial verification and determination”, so as to ensure that the determination of mining intensity and the re verification of production capacity of “two types” coal mines are completed on time before July 15.

 

“Coking industry standard conditions” issued and implemented: in order to further accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the coking industry, promote the technical progress of the coking industry, improve the comprehensive utilization rate of resources and energy conservation and environmental protection level, and promote the high-quality development of the coking industry, the Ministry of industry and information technology has formulated the “coking industry standard conditions”.

During the Dragon Boat Festival small and long holidays, propane market was mainly stable. On the 28th, after the holiday, there was a demand for replenishment in the downstream after the festival. The enthusiasm for entering the market was good. The overall trading atmosphere of the market was fair. The inventory of manufacturers was running at a low level. In addition, the price of domestic gas went up, which played a certain role in supporting the propane Market. On the 30th, crude oil pushed up in the morning, which brought good news to the market again. At present, the expected high price of CP in July has significantly boosted the market mentality. The Shandong market continued to rise, ranging from 20-80 yuan / ton.

 

After the new round of replenishment in the downstream after the festival, more delisting and consumption of inventory, and the CP will be released in July, the downstream wait-and-see mentality is relatively strong. At present, it is still strongly affected by seasonal factors, and the slowdown of terminal consumption has restrained the upward trend of prices. It is expected that the propane Market in the traditional off-season demand will mainly fluctuate in July or in a narrow range.

Polysilicon supply and demand pressure is not strong this week

This week (6.22-28), around the Dragon Boat Festival, the domestic polysilicon market remained stable. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the price change was not big, and the market basically ended the periodic downward market. By the end of the week, the domestic polysilicon primary material price was 38000-40000 yuan / ton. At present, the polysilicon price has dropped by more than 20% compared with the peak in mid March. There are obvious signs of stabilization at the bottom of the market.

 

Chitosan oligosaccharide

In late June, domestic polysilicon manufacturers are still in the maintenance period, so the pressure on supply is obviously relieved compared with the beginning of the month, and some markets are in tight supply. According to statistics, there are three polysilicon manufacturers in the maintenance period at the end of the month, namely, Xinte energy, Dongfang hope and Sichuan Yongxiang. The domestic supply pressure is not large. In addition, there are two polysilicon manufacturers in the maintenance period in the foreign market, namely, Wacker in Germany and OCI in Malaysia. The pressure from the import side has also been relieved. In general, the supply of fundamentals is tight. Therefore, the current price has stopped falling, but the market has not rebounded obviously at present, the main reason is that the overall market price cannot be raised successfully due to the weak demand. This week, most of the pre delivery orders of polysilicon, new orders were not reached, and the price was basically the same as that of last week, with stable operation. However, the price of imported silicon materials has successively reached a new low, further impacting the domestic market. According to statistics, polycrystalline silicon in non China region is still in a downward cycle in June. Since June, the RMB price of imported silicon materials has dropped by 3000-4000 yuan / ton.

 

Gamma-PGA (gamma polyglutamic acid)

From the perspective of terminal demand, general rigid demand still exists, and it has recovered compared with may, but the overall demand volume is still insufficient, which is mainly due to the domestic demand recovery. From the perspective of downstream silicon wafer, domestic silicon wafer manufacturers still have rigid demand for polycrystalline orders. However, in terms of exports, the downstream battery and module exports are obviously affected. India, the main demand country for overseas photovoltaic products, has been hit by the epidemic, resulting in a drop in demand and a significant reduction in orders. The situation of instability of outgoing borders and ports has been superimposed. Although there is no current situation of cancellation, however, the expansionary demand has become impossible, and the impact may be more obvious in the later period 。

 

In the later stage, the business community believes that the current polysilicon supply-demand contradiction is eased, mainly due to the reduction of supply, and the polysilicon inventory removal cycle is basically coming to an end. It is expected that one polysilicon enterprise still has a maintenance plan in July, adding that at present, three polysilicon enterprises still have not finished the maintenance, and two may end the maintenance task in the middle of July, and the supply pressure in July is still tight. However, whether the market can rebound is still determined by the demand side. At present, the demand for polysilicon mainly comes from domestic rigid demand. The external demand is still weak, and the overseas epidemic situation is still severe. The export data of photovoltaic modules in May has declined month on month, and the situation in June is not optimistic. The improvement of external demand still needs time. It is comprehensively predicted that polysilicon is still at the bottom stage. Whether it can rebound in the later stage remains to be further observed.
