As of August 19, the average price of domestic sulfuric acid was 394 yuan / ton, a decrease of 13.60% compared with the price of 456 yuan / ton at the end of last week. The domestic sulfuric acid market is dominated by weak operation. The market supply is sufficient, the downstream demand is weak, the on-site supply is strong and the demand is weak, and the enterprise’s shipment is blocked. In order to relieve the inventory pressure, the market trading center is constantly moving downward.

The downstream phosphate fertilizer market is in a weak operation. The fertilizer use in the downstream of ammonium monohydrate in autumn is slow, the shipment is poor, the demand for raw materials is limited, and the mentality in the field is weak. The downstream demand of diammonium continues to be cautious and wait-and-see. The on-site trading atmosphere is cold, the manufacturer’s shipment situation is general, the inventory pressure is large, and the market situation is weak. The overall demand of the ammonium phosphate Market has not improved, the downstream follow-up is limited, the contradiction between supply and demand in the field continues, and the ammonium phosphate Market is in a weak position.

According to the sulfur analysts of business club, the downstream market of domestic sulfur is weak, the demand support is insufficient, the shipment of manufacturers is not good, a small number of transactions are just to be followed up, and the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is obvious. It is expected that the short-term sulfur market will wait and see the consolidation and operation, and the price will be temporarily stable. Specific attention will be paid to the market follow-up.
