Silicon material market continued to be stable this week (11.7-11)

This week (11.7-11), the domestic polysilicon market was stable, the price remained at the level of last week, and the weekly rise and fall was only 0. According to the monitoring of the business community, at the weekend, the single-crystal dense mainstream range with the model of primary solar energy reached RMB 298-30900/ton. The plant starts normally, the supply is stable, and the demand continues to provide support.

On the supply side, the operating rate of silicon material enterprises’ devices is normal. As some devices are about to be put into production, the expected supply pressure increases. This week, manufacturers’ orders continue to follow up, but downstream silicon chips fall, demand weakens, and the bargaining power of large silicon material manufacturers weakens. In addition, transportation in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia is blocked, local supply pressure increases, and delivery is delayed, but the overall supply is not affected. On the whole, the supply is still improved compared with the previous month, and the significant relief of the pressure of tight supply is the main reason for stopping the growth of silicon materials.

 

From the perspective of downstream silicon chips, since some silicon chip leaders lowered the quotation of some models of silicon chips at the beginning of this month, the big factories have not adjusted the price this week. The mainstream transaction price of M10 was stable at 7.37 yuan/piece, while that of G12 was stable at 9.71 yuan/piece. However, downstream demand has slowed down, and silicon chip manufacturers are showing signs of accumulating stock, which does not rule out the possibility of continuing to reduce prices.

 

In terms of terminals, the price of battery chips remained stable this week. The mainstream transaction price of single crystal M6 battery chip was stable, at about 1.29 yuan/W, that of M10 battery chip was about 1.34 yuan/W, and that of G12 battery chip was stable, at about 1.31 yuan/W. Enterprise cost pressure is still high, the willingness to start work is not strong, and the shipment of terminal components is stable.

 

Future market forecast: Polycrystalline silicon analysts from the business community believe that the supply and demand of silicon materials are stable at present, but in the later period, as some devices are facing production, the supply pressure will increase, and the supply pattern will be improved. In addition, domestic regulation and control will be strengthened, and the market will be hindered from rising. The supplier has no information release in the short term. The demand side is still rigid and strong, and it is estimated that the silicon material market may still maintain a high consolidation.

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

It can be seen from the data monitoring map of the business community that the recent domestic phosphorus ore market is generally stable, moderate and slightly rising. The overall supply of domestic medium and high-end grade phosphate ore is mainly tight, and the downstream demand side is relatively stable. The new transaction prices of some phosphate mining enterprises in Sichuan increased slightly by about 10 yuan/ton. The phosphate ore market in Guizhou, Hubei and Guangxi remained stable and consolidated. As of November 14, the market price of 30% grade phosphorus ore in China is around 1030-1080 yuan/ton. There is also a gap between the price and the original ore specification, powder to lump ratio and other factors, and the details need to be negotiated.

 

Forecast and analysis of phosphate rock future market trend

 

Near the end of the year, some domestic mining enterprises and mines have stopped production, and the tight supply of domestic phosphate rock can hardly be greatly improved in the short term. According to the phosphate ore data engineer of the business community, the overall domestic phosphate ore market is expected to operate mainly in a stable and small way in the short term, and the specific trend needs to pay more attention to the changes in the information on the supply and demand side.

The overall quotation of domestic polyethylene spot market was stable this week, among which LLDPE was stable after the rise and fall of LLDPE were mutually reflected at the beginning of the week, and LDPE and HDPE were mainly stable. International crude oil futures prices fell on the 7th, which was bad for the market. On August 8, the spot price of domestic polyethylene was slightly adjusted, and petrochemical enterprises generally offered firm prices. In terms of supply, the total output of polyethylene this week increased compared with last week. The lower reaches were resistant to the high price. The enthusiasm for entering the market turned weak, the transaction slowed down, and the sample inventory of polyethylene manufacturers rose slightly. In terms of demand, data shows that the overall operating rate of the downstream industry has declined on a month on month basis, including the operating rate of agricultural film, packaging film and pipe materials, and the demand for agricultural film has gradually weakened. The peak season is nearing the end, and the consumer demand for the Double 11 E-commerce Festival has only been boosted.

 

In terms of current raw materials, on November 10, international crude oil futures prices rose, bringing some support to the cost side. On the demand side, the peak season of agricultural film gradually ended, bringing certain negative effects. The lower reaches mostly maintain replenishment on demand, with low enthusiasm. The PE spot market is expected to be dominated by narrow shocks.

Shandong civil gas market fell mainly this week, with a poor trend. In terms of cost, international crude oil rose slightly, with limited cost support. The supplier has no new production, and the supply is relatively stable. In terms of demand, due to the impact of domestic public health and security incidents, the regional transportation is not smooth, resulting in difficult demand.

The K-bar chart of commodity prices reflects the weekly or monthly price changes in the form of a bar chart based on the concept of price trend K-line. Investors can buy, sell and invest according to the changes in the K-bar chart. Red means rising; Green means: down; The height of the K column indicates the range of rise and fall. Since the market entered September, the expectation of downstream battery enterprises in peak season has increased, driving the price of primary lead to rise.

 

Lead futures market this week

 

Variety., closing price., compared with the same period of last week., inventory., compared with the same period of last week,

Shanghai Lead, 15230 yuan/ton,+180 yuan/ton, 43942 tons, – 9751

London lead., 1985.5 USD/ton., – 6.5 USD/ton., 27,625 tons., – 625

The futures market fluctuated widely this week. The price fluctuated widely a few days ago, and strengthened near the weekend. LME lead inventory continued to fall, Shanghai lead inventory fell significantly, and the spot market maintained a small increase.

 

From the basic point of view, as the downstream battery peak season is expected to gradually increase after September, the lead ingot is better supported. In terms of supply, the import situation at the mine end was not as good as the market expectation, the overall supply was still tight, and the overall operating rate of domestic production enterprises increased slightly. The production of renewable lead enterprises is good in the near future, and the resumption of production is active, and the overall supply of lead is slightly improved. The production of downstream battery enterprises has been good since the peak season, and the overall demand for lead ingots is well supported. In general, the supply and demand of lead are increasing on the basic level, the market peak season is expected to be strong, and the trading is good. As we entered November, the battery industry began to enter the end of the peak season. Although the recent commencement of battery enterprises did not decline, the data from terminal consumption showed that the market had some expectations of decline. It is expected that the lead price in the future will continue to fluctuate in a wide range. After losing the downstream support, the price will mainly follow the macro factors.

Overview of toluene trend in October (October 1 to October 28, 2022)

1、 Price trend

 

Gamma Polyglutamic Acid

According to the bulk list data of business cooperatives, the price of returned toluene after the festival rose to 7910 yuan/ton and began to fall continuously. The price of toluene was 7630 yuan/ton on October 1 and 7590 yuan/ton on October 28, down 0.52% from the beginning of the month; It was 12.11% higher than the same period last year.

 

2、 Analysis and review

 

During the National Day, due to the wide rise of crude oil, the relevant bulk commodity markets were boosted, and toluene followed suit. However, due to the occasional outbreaks in some areas, domestic gasoline demand has declined, and the gasoline price market is weak. In addition, the demand for downstream chemical products such as PX continues to be weak, and the demand side shrinks. In addition, the supply side began to increase in the middle of September. In October, the contradiction between supply and demand in the toluene market was highlighted, and the price fell under pressure after a short rise.

 

In terms of the external market, the overall trend of toluene in Asia in the external market was up and down this month. On October 28, the price of imported toluene from South Korea was 946 dollars/ton, up 6 dollars/ton month on month, or 0.64%.

 

In terms of crude oil, due to the OPEC+meeting’s decision to significantly reduce production from November, crude oil rose broadly during the National Day holiday. However, in the context of multi country interest rate hikes, economic data is weak, and oil prices continue to play a game around demand concerns and supply shortages. As of October 28, Brent rose by 7.81 dollars/barrel, or 8.88%; WTI rose by 8.41 dollars/barrel, or 10.58%.

 

Downstream: In terms of TDI, the price of TDI in East China rose broadly this month to fall back in the last ten days. At the beginning of the month, the price of domestic goods was 20075 yuan/ton, and at the end of the month, the price was 23625 yuan/ton, up 17.68% from the beginning of the month and 52.42% from the same period last year.

 

In terms of PX market, domestic PX prices stabilized after rising this month. The price at the beginning of the month was 9000 yuan/ton, and the price at the end of the month was 9300 yuan/ton, 3.33% higher than the beginning of the month, and 27.4% higher than the same period last year.

 

In terms of gasoline, the price of gasoline in Shandong Province fell continuously this month. The price at the beginning of the month was 8693 yuan/ton, and the price at the end of the month was 8329 yuan/ton, down 4.19% from the beginning of the month and 3.88% from the same period last year.

 

3、 Future market forecast

 

On the cost side (crude oil), the market is worried about the economic and demand prospects under the background of multi country interest rate increases; However, OPEC+plans to reduce production, and the geopolitical situation still worries about the tension of energy supply. It is expected that the international oil price will continue to play a long short game with a volatile trend. In the future, we will continue to pay attention to the geopolitical situation, the latest production capacity policy of OPEC+, the stock dynamics of U.S. crude oil and refined oil, and the impact of global economic conditions on crude oil prices.

 

Toluene is about to enter the traditional off-season of demand, and the pressure of supply and demand may increase, which will still restrict the price of toluene. Continue to pay attention to the impact of crude oil, external market trend, toluene unit dynamics, import and export, downstream demand, etc. on the price of toluene.
