On October 9, the hydrofluoric acid commodity index was 89.20, down 0.55 points from yesterday, down 36.48% from the peak of 140.43 points in the cycle (2018-02-21), and up 66.45% from the low of 53.59 points on November 30, 2016. (Note: Period refers to 2011-09-01 to date).

According to statistics, the domestic hydrofluoric acid market price trend remains low, up to the present domestic hydrofluoric acid market price is 9830 yuan/ton, the domestic hydrofluoric acid start-up rate is less than 60%, enterprises reflect that the current on-site supply of hydrofluoric acid is sufficient, recent on-site hydrofluoric acid immovable goods, due to the downstream demand is not improving, some hydrofluoric acid manufacturers continue to reduce prices, hydrofluoric acid market prices are small. The amplitude is low. At present, the mainstream of hydrofluoric acid negotiations in the southern region is about 9000-9500 yuan/ton, while the price of hydrofluoric acid in the northern market is between 9000-10000 yuan/ton. Domestic hydrofluoric acid market price maintained a low level, spot supply is sufficient, but the demand situation is poor, hydrofluoric acid market price maintained a low level.

Upstream fluorite market prices remained low, up to 10 days, the price of fluorite was 2866.67 yuan/ton. The downward price of upstream raw materials had a negative impact on the hydrofluoric acid market. The market price of hydrofluoric acid was at a low level due to the lower price of raw materials fluorite. Recent downstream refrigerant market trading market is general, domestic refrigerant R22 market prices remain low, from the point of view of market supply, refrigerant R22 market continues to be weak, manufacturers reduce start-up load, market supply capacity has declined, inventory pressure has been buffered. On the demand side, the downstream air conditioning manufacturers’overhaul, the demand has only decreased but not increased. The price of domestic large enterprises is mainstream at the level of 12,000-14,000 yuan per ton. The domestic market price of R134a has declined, the start-up rate of production enterprises has remained low, the market demand for refrigerants has decreased, and manufacturers mainly export their products. However, on-site transaction prices continue to decline, merchants purchase on demand, the end of the peak season, downstream terminal demand only declined, hydrofluoric acid market prices declined. However, the on-site transaction price is lower, merchants purchase on demand. Recently, due to the normal supply of goods, downstream demand is not improving, and the market price of hydrofluoric acid remains low.

Refrigerant field turnover is poor, refrigerant industry equipment start-up rate remains low, for upstream hydrofluoric acid market demand is limited, hydrofluoric acid spot supply is sufficient, but manufacturers reflect a serious loss, Business Analyst Chen Ling believes that the market price of hydrofluoric acid may decline, but the decline is limited.
