In December, the price trend of domestic ammonium nitrate Market remained at a high level, the domestic ammonium nitrate plant started normal operation, the supply of goods in the near future was normal, and the domestic price trend remained at a high level. In the near future, the shipment market of ammonium nitrate manufacturers has improved, and the downstream purchase is on demand. In the near future, the trend of downstream nitro compound fertilizer is normal. The domestic downstream civil explosive industry still stops production more, the domestic ammonium nitrate manufacturers have limited start-up, and the market price of ammonium nitrate remains high. Up to now, the mainstream of negotiation in Shaanxi is 2300-2400 yuan / ton, that in Shandong is 2300-2500 yuan / ton, and that in Hebei is 2400-2600 yuan / ton.

Jiangsu Hongze Yinzhu Chemical Co., Ltd. offers 1600 yuan / ton; Anhui Jinhe offers 1600 yuan / ton; Shandong helitai offers 1800 yuan / ton. Anhui Aodeli offers 1650 yuan / ton; Wenshui County synthetic chemical offers 1650 yuan / ton. In recent years, the domestic maintenance devices have been restarted continuously, the supply of concentrated nitric acid market has increased, and the situation of goods in the field is general.

Most of the manufacturers reported stable prices. Some of them went down 50-100 yuan / ton. Some enterprises in Shandong Province, the main production area, continuously lowered prices. Prices in the northwest region remained stable. At present, there is a surplus of local ammonia. In particular, some manufacturers in Shandong Province have loose supply, and the pressure of enterprise shipment is increasing. However, the manufacturers with a large amount of ammonia are mainly stable The main quotation is 2850-2950 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 Province has led to the majority of enterprises limiting production. The shutdown of large downstream enterprises such as China and Afghanistan has led to the weak demand in the downstream, the accumulation of enterprises and no significant change in prices. The mainstream quotation in Hebei is 2770-2850 yuan / ton, and the overall trend of liquid ammonia is still not optimistic. The overall trend of the upstream liquid ammonia Market declined, while the price trend of ammonium nitrate Market was temporarily stable.

In the near future, the demand of the downstream civil explosive industry is general, and the market demand for ammonium nitrate is normal, but the market price of raw materials falls, and the market price of ammonium nitrate loses cost support. Ammonium nitrate analysts of the business association believe that the market price of ammonium nitrate may maintain high volatility in the later period.
