Recently, the price of crude oil has risen sharply, which is beneficial to the products of chemical industry chain. As of November 25, WTI crude oil price settlement price was 45.71 USD / barrel, 8.81% higher than November 18 price. On November 22, the listed price of pure benzene was 4150-4550 yuan / ton, 4.88% higher than last week. There is support for caprolactam at the raw material end. Recently, the settlement price of Sinopec high-end caprolactam in November was 10650 yuan / ton, which was 850 yuan / ton higher than that in October. At present, the inventory of caprolactam is low, and although the operating rate of downstream PA6 is high, the current price of PA6 is rising and falling, which affects market confidence and hinders the enthusiasm of downstream factories to replenish goods. On the other hand, caprolactam has more than 80% of the operating load. With the increase of supply, it may limit the future market growth.

 

Although the price of raw materials has been increased, and the enterprise informed the downstream cost rise news, in order to stimulate its purchase, but most nylon manufacturers did not actually adjust the price. Nylon orders support general, coupled with raw material prices skyrocketing, procurement is more cautious, filament prices. With the increasing pressure of raw material supply, caprolactam and PA6 both rose and fell back, which deepened the wait-and-see sentiment of the market again, and the price of industrial chain products fell back.

 

Business agency analysts believe that crude oil rose sharply, nylon related chemical products rose accordingly. The supply of raw materials is expected to increase, and the quotation has shown signs of callback, so the enthusiasm of the factory to replenish the warehouse is general. Nylon manufacturers are expected to continue to hold prices in the short term, with the possibility of rising raw materials.

The actual transaction price is mainly negotiated. Downstream purchasing enthusiasm is general, potassium chloride supply is normal, future market is expected to be low consolidation of potassium chloride market. The market of potassium chloride is mainly stable, and the support for potassium carbonate is general.

 

Potassium carbonate analysts of the business club believe that the price of domestic potassium chloride market is stable in the near future, and the production volume is not large. Some small factories have stopped production, but there is a certain amount of reserve for raw materials in the downstream. It is expected that the price of potassium carbonate will rise slightly in the short term, and the long-term market still needs to wait and see.

On the upstream side, benzene continued to follow the trend of styrene last week, with a wide rise and then a small decline, and the overall price rose. According to the big list data of business associations, the listed price of pure benzene was 3950-4050 yuan / ton on November 15, and 4150-4550 yuan / ton on November 22, up 4.88% from last week. At present, the main factor affecting the trend of pure benzene is styrene. Recently, the total inventory of styrene in East China has dropped sharply, which has led to short covering, and the price of pure benzene has risen with styrene. However, with the shutdown of some styrene downstream units, bulls actively took profits and the focus of negotiation fell. In addition, styrene futures fell one after another, and pure benzene fell with it. In the short term, styrene will continue to affect the pure benzene market, but with the arrival of the traditional off-season, the downstream demand will be weakened. It is expected that pure benzene will follow the shock finishing of styrene in the near future.

 

The price of pure benzene in the upstream is high, which supports the cost of caprolactam, and the price of caprolactam has increased recently. Far upstream international crude oil also rose, benefiting the products of the chemical industry chain. At present, caprolactam inventory continues to be low. Although the operating rate of downstream PA6 is relatively high, the current price of PA6 has dropped, which affects market confidence and hinders the enthusiasm of downstream factories to replenish goods. In addition, the current caprolactam operating rate is high, with more than 80% of the operating load, which may limit the future market growth.

 

Future forecast

 

Caprolactam analysts believe that the current upstream pure benzene price is high, the caprolactam cost side support is acceptable. In terms of supply, the inventory is low and the supply is in short supply. In the later stage, some enterprises have maintenance plans, and the shortage pattern may continue. Multiple positive push up the spot price of caprolactam, but the upstream and downstream trend of weakening, it is expected that the caprolactam market will gradually stabilize in the near future.
