Weak demand, weak upstream, PP price adjusted weakly (12.9-12.13)

I. price trend

 

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the domestic PP market in the first half of December was volatile and weak. As of Friday, December 13, some spot prices were lower than the beginning of the month. The main offer price of T30S from domestic producers and traders is about 8133.33 yuan / ton, down 2.01% from the beginning of the week.

 

II. Cause analysis

 

Upstream: according to the data in the business club’s bulk list, the market price of PP raw material propylene in China has declined continuously in recent years. At the beginning of December, affected by the international crude oil “Black Friday” market, the price began to decline all the way. In the near future, due to the impact of heavy fog in Shandong Province, the logistics is not smooth, and the external supply is blocked, which supports the propylene market. On the outside, US polymer grade propylene spot price fell to the lowest level in more than three years on Thursday, which also had a negative impact on propylene. On the upstream side, the OPEC + meeting delayed and strengthened the production reduction agreement, and the international crude oil rose sharply, which had a positive impact on propylene. The downstream procurement is still good, which has a certain positive impact on propylene. It is expected that the market price of propylene will start to stabilize and recover in recent days.

Product: upstream propylene is weak, and the average operating rate of domestic PP polymerization enterprises this week is about 95.09%, slightly higher than that of last week, and there is no news of shutdown and maintenance device in the near future. It is expected that the operation rate of domestic polypropylene enterprises will be stable next week. In terms of inventory, the total PP inventory of each sales company of two barrels of oil continued to decline slightly, and the inventory of traders also continued to decline. At present, the operation of petrochemical enterprises is still inclined to destocking, the mentality of the operators is short, and the factory price is difficult to go higher. The operation rate of downstream plants increased slightly, but the improvement of PP demand has not yet appeared. Generally speaking, the trading volume is still weak, and the price support is not good. The propylene market price in Shandong continues to decline. In terms of external news, the International Monetary Fund lowered the global economic growth rate to 3% in 2019, the lowest growth rate in 10 years, which hit market confidence.

 

III. future forecast

There is no centralized purchase for the downstream factories, the confidence of the operators is insufficient, the quotation keeps falling, and the operation is cautious. It is expected that PP market will continue to adjust at a low level in the near future. It is suggested to pay close attention to the change of propylene market at the cost end in the near future.

In November, the downstream demand of liquid ammonia was weak, and the market continued to decline

In November, the performance of domestic liquid ammonia market was sluggish, continuing the downward trend of last month, and the price hit a new low. At the end of the month, the price in most parts of the country still showed no sign of stabilizing. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the drop of liquid ammonia Market in Shandong Province reached 5.53%, and the price of liquid ammonia in Shandong Province was generally 2700-2800 yuan / ton. It is 200-300 yuan / ton lower than last month. The overall market atmosphere is relatively low, and the expectation for the later market is low.

 

ammonium persulfate

In terms of supply, the overall supply of liquid ammonia Market in November was relatively surplus, and the unit operating rate of enterprises was slightly higher. In Shanxi and Shandong areas, the peak shifting and production limiting, the coming of winter haze, the increasing pressure of environmental protection, and the limited transportation in Wuhan, Hubei Province, lead to the tight supply of liquid ammonia in some areas; while the start-up of other liquid ammonia enterprises is still at a high level, with the full resumption of production of liquid ammonia units in Hubei, the price of liquid ammonia has declined. In addition, in the near future, manufacturers in Anhui Province have maintenance plans. In the next month, the operating rate of liquid ammonia enterprises will be reduced, and the local liquid ammonia market may pick up. However, in the whole country, the overall trend of liquid ammonia is still not optimistic, mainly due to the relative lack of downstream demand. At present, the market is still in a situation of weak supply and demand.

 

In terms of demand, the demand for liquid ammonia continued to decline in November. First of all, the downstream operating rate remained low, and under the double pressure of environmental protection and safety, the operating rate of some chemical enterprises continued to be low, and the sales progress of compound fertilizer enterprises was slow, the fertilizer procurement entered the market off-season, and the production enthusiasm was not high, especially the situation of small and medium-sized compound fertilizer enterprises stopping production or reducing production was particularly obvious In the aspect of phosphate fertilizer, the demand of phosphate compound fertilizer has entered into the window period of demand, the fertilizer land in winter market has gradually shrunk, some enterprises have stopped for maintenance, and the demand for liquid ammonia is shrinking. At the same time, Hubei, as a phosphate fertilizer enterprise with 40% capacity, has a large production limit.

 

In the future, the business community believes that the liquid ammonia market may be difficult to get out of the strong market in the short term, which is mainly affected by the weak demand in most regions, resulting in the overstock of inventory. The recent market does not exclude the possibility of further exploration.

At the end of the month, the price of liquid ammonia is stable and tends to fall, so it is difficult for the market to improve in the near future

On the 29th, according to the monitoring of the business agency, the domestic liquid ammonia market tends to be stable, with a slight decline in some areas. On the 29th, the drop of liquid ammonia was 0.84% in the week. On the weekend, most of the manufacturers reported a stable decline, some of them were down 50 yuan / ton. Some of the enterprises in the main production area of Shandong Province maintained a stable decline, some of them were down 50 yuan / ton, and the price in the northwest region remained stable. At present, there is a surplus of local ammonia, especially some of the manufacturers in Shandong Province have a relatively wide supply of goods Loose, the pressure of enterprise shipment is increasing, but the price of manufacturers with large ammonia volume is mainly stable, and the main quotation in Shandong is 2750-2850 yuan / ton.

In North China, the liquid ammonia is also slightly lower. The lack of demand leads to the current ammonia storage and price decline. The shipment pressure increases significantly. There are many downstream stoppages. The main quotation in North China is 2800 yuan / ton up and down.

 

The increasing pressure of environmental protection in Hebei region has led to the majority of enterprises limiting production. The shutdown of large downstream enterprises, such as China and Afghanistan, has led to weak demand in the downstream. There are many enterprises accumulating inventory, and the price has not changed significantly. The mainstream quotation in Hebei is 2770-2850 yuan / ton.

 

Over the weekend, there was a slight downward trend in Central China, and the delivery pressure in Hubei was obvious. Part of Henan was affected by environmental pressure, and the price gave way to more profits. At present, the liquid ammonia market is full of negative atmosphere, weak operation, and the mainstream quotation in Henan is up and down 2700 yuan / ton.

 

In the future, the business club believes that the market may continue to maintain a weak position in the short term, mainly affected by the high ammonia volume in most regions. The recent market does not exclude the possibility of continuing to explore low.

Therefore, the main contradiction in the current market is that supply exceeds demand. According to analysts of KCl in business association, the short-term market of KCl is dominated by low consolidation under the influence of supply and demand and raw materials.
