At present, the transaction in the domestic acetone market has slowed down, the focus of negotiation has dropped, the mainstream negotiation in East China is at 5500-5550 yuan / ton, the market offer is basically the same as that of the factory, the international crude oil has fallen, the peripheral environment has weakened, the market wait-and-see mood has increased, the terminal demand has been restrained, and the volume of real offer trading is insufficient, although the owner has little intention to lower the price.

As for propylene as raw material, the price chart of the business society shows that during the May Day holiday, the international crude oil continued to rise due to geopolitical influence, driving up the price of downstream basic chemicals. Under the cost transmission, most commodities ushered in a round of price rise after the holiday. Propylene rose by 400 yuan / ton as a whole, reaching the peak in the month, an increase of 4.59% over the beginning of the month. The aftermarket gradually returned to normal, followed by the gradual resumption of production of new units and parking enterprises, loose market supply, intensified price competition among enterprises, increased downward pressure, general enthusiasm of downstream factories to enter the market for procurement in the month, and weak overall demand for propylene. Propylene analysts from the chemical branch of the business community believe that: in June, it is expected that propylene supply will further increase and crude oil cost support will be strong. It is expected that the propylene market in June will be weak and volatile.

3、 Aftermarket forecast

Isopropanol analysts from the chemical branch of the business club believe that: at present, domestic factories are mainly export orders, the price of raw material acetone has increased, and some factories have shut down. Under the premise of boosting the supply side and the cost side, there is still a rising intention. However, the downstream demand is flat, the market turnover is limited, and the price is multidimensional and stable. In the short term, the isopropanol market is dominated by consolidation, supplemented by small gains.

Potassium carbonate

The price of potassium carbonate rose sharply this week. It can be seen from the above figure that the potassium carbonate market has fluctuated higher recently, and the market continues to rise this week, mainly because of the recent sharp rise in raw materials, the passive rise of potassium carbonate manufacturers, the inactive market transactions, traders’ reluctance to sell goods, and the potassium carbonate market continues to rise. According to the statistics of business agency, the mainstream factory quotation range of domestic industrial potassium carbonate this week is about 9700-9800 yuan / ton (the quotation is only for reference), and the quotation varies according to different procurement conditions.

Recently, the international market price of potassium chloride has been strong and rising. On June 2, the potassium chloride equipment of Qinghai Salt Lake Potash Fertilizer Co., Ltd. operated normally. The ex factory price was about 4480 yuan / ton, and the quotation increased by 500 yuan / ton. However, the domestic spot market is in short supply, the domestic inventory is relatively low, the supply exceeds the demand, and the price of potassium chloride rises slightly. The high price of potassium chloride can provide strong cost support for potassium carbonate.

In the near future, the domestic potash fertilizer price has remained at a high level, the cost has remained at a high level, and the market is in short supply. It is expected that the potash price will mainly rise in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see.

The strength of the futures market in early trading on the 30th led to the upward movement of the spot market of tin ingots. Negotiations in the high market were rather cold.

From the basic point of view, the supply at the mine end is relatively loose, the domestic refineries are operating smoothly, and the supply of tin ingots is relatively normal. With the resumption of work and production plan in many places in the downstream electronics industry, there are signs of recovery in recent construction.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, the domestic carbon black quotation was 10375 yuan / ton on May 26.

Today, on the cost side of carbon black, the regional performance of domestic high-temperature coal tar market is different.

On the demand side, the domestic demand in the downstream is average. Although the tire industry gradually recovered in May, there is still a gap compared with the normal situation. The overall operating load of the industry is low, the shipment of tire manufacturers is slow, and the tire inventory is high. Under the background that the comprehensive cost of carbon black enterprises continues to rise this year and the price generally rises, downstream operators are cautious in carbon black procurement.

At present, the cost of domestic carbon black is still high, the demand is low and the inventory is increased. At present, there is a risk of falling carbon black price. The future trend depends on the downstream demand.
