According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the average price of methanol producers in Shandong Province was 1882 yuan / ton on November 1, and 1940 yuan / ton on November 4 in Shandong Province. The price cycle increased by 3.05% and the price rose by 8.08% month on month.

3、 Future forecast

POM analysts believe that: by the raw material methanol boost, polyoxymethylene prices will rise slightly.

Price trend

According to the data from the business club’s bulk list, the domestic PA66 market continued its peak season trend at the beginning of November, and the increase of various models of products was relatively large. As of November 6, the average price quoted by PA66 medium viscosity injection molding class sample enterprises of business agency was about 24200 yuan / ton, which was 6.84% higher than the average price level at the beginning of the month.

On the upstream side of PA66, the domestic adipic acid continues to rise, and the increase is increasingly fierce. The strong rising trend has also brought the power of speculation, and the price increase of dealers has even appeared a certain degree of confusion. According to the monitoring of business agency, the current quotation range of adipic acid in the market is 7200-7700 yuan / ton, which has increased by 500 yuan / ton compared with the end of October. The main advantage of the rise is the shortage of supply. From the perspective of market supply, the operating rate of adipic acid manufacturers has been declining since last month, and there is no lack of equipment maintenance in large factories. At present, the operating rate is about 70%. The situation of supply shortage has been exacerbated in November. Superimposed on the surge in upstream costs, the price of pure benzene continued to rise. With winter approaching, the downstream operating rate may decline, and due to the influence of environmental protection and other factors, adipic acid will continue to push up, with limited space.

In November, the upstream adipic acid on the cost side of PA66 increased, PA66 market continued to rise in the peak season, more than the peak season. The situation of spot shortage in the domestic spot market remains unchanged, and some domestic factories are still stopping for maintenance. At present, the operating rate of PA66 in China is maintained at about 50%, while the operating rate of Zhejiang Huafeng and foreign NVIDIA is relatively low. Moreover, the inventory of polymerization plant and social inventory are generally low, and due to the priority to meet the supply of core old customers, on-site supply may be even more tight than expected. In addition, last month, BASF, DuPont, landic and other major international manufacturers released price increase news. At present, the price of PA66 products and related raw materials in the industrial chain is rising. The replenishment operation of downstream factories is biased towards rigid demand, but there is a certain basis for the current consumption of PA66, and the purchase and sales volume of home appliances and automobile industries are obviously better, resulting in the passive follow-up of factories, and the transaction focus of PA66 market continues to rise.

Business agency analysts believe: PA66 in early November, the domestic market trend is strong. The current upward trend of upstream products is positive, and the pressure of PA66 production cost is increasing. Downstream factory procurement follow-up on demand, on-site supply continues to be tight pattern, overseas rising market is better than domestic PA66 prices. At present, PA66 is in the cost side support, tight supply and overseas market. It is expected that the PA66 market will continue to be strong in the short term. It is suggested that we should pay close attention to the influence of environmental protection policies on plasticizing production in the near future.

Jiangsu Xuzhou Petroleum Branch of Sinopec Sales Co., Ltd. stopped selling ethanol gasoline. Recently, it caused a lot of vibration in the industry, and also caused hot discussion outside the industry. In fact, since its birth, ethanol gasoline has enjoyed a “high degree of market attention” which is not commensurate with its “low market share”. At a time when food and energy security issues are widely concerned, the release of the “stop sale” notice directly touched the already sensitive nerves of the public, and once again exposed the short board of “grain as the main raw material” in the biofuel ethanol industry. At this critical moment, it is necessary to re-examine the industry development ideas and optimize the technical route based on the long-term adjustment.

Bioenergy represented by biofuel ethanol is a national strategic emerging industry. The promotion of ethanol gasoline for vehicles is not only in line with the strategic direction of building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system, but also helps to solve the burning problem of agricultural and forestry wastes such as straw, improve the atmospheric environmental quality, solve the problem of “aged grain”, improve the level of food quality and safety, and help to improve the quality and safety of grain It can not only promote farmers to open up new channels to increase income, but also help to improve the comprehensive utilization of agricultural and forestry waste resources and promote the development of advanced Bioenergy Industry. In other words, the promotion of ethanol gasoline has important practical significance and strategic value.

In addition, the conditions for the development of ethanol gasoline are complete: the strategy of green and low-carbon energy transformation has created unprecedented development space for the development of ethanol gasoline industry; the annual available straw and forestry waste in China exceeds 400 million tons, which provides abundant raw material basis for the sustainable development of the industry; the industry development of more than 20 years has cultivated and reserved a total of 1 A large number of professional and technical personnel provide a solid intellectual guarantee for the transformation and upgrading of the industry.

But the weakness of ethanol gasoline industry is also obvious. The production structure of “87% raw material source is corn” is the sword of Damocles hanging on the head of the industry, and also the “seven inch” of China’s biofuel ethanol industry.

With a large population in China, the importance of food security cannot be overemphasized. Therefore, the development of biofuel ethanol cannot and should not be based on a high proportion of food raw materials. However, the reality is that the current global mature biofuel ethanol production technology takes corn, wheat, rice and other food crops as the main raw materials. “Competing with people for food” and “competing with grain for land” are always the problems that cannot be avoided in the development of the industry.

one can’t make bricks without straw. At present, the production and use of ethanol gasoline is not only an energy problem, but also a food security problem. Without the support of food security, no matter how advanced the technology is and how grand the planning is, it will be water without source and a tree without roots, and the industry development will not be sustainable.

Poverty leads to change, and change leads to adaptation. In order to achieve large-scale and sustainable development, the industry must find a new way, from “food” to “non food”. That is to start a new stove, turn to rich resources of corn straw, hay, leaves and other kinds of plant fiber materials, reduce the dependence on food crops. Today, the technology of ethanol preparation from grain raw materials has been highly commercialized. However, the road of technology upgrading of “another gateway” is doomed to be difficult, but it has to be taken in the long run.

It is worth mentioning that China has already made some beneficial explorations in this respect. In 2001, in order to solve the problem of processing a large number of “aged grain”, China officially launched the pilot project of biofuel ethanol. However, after five years of rapid development, “competing for grain” has become a major problem. Therefore, since 2006, China has suspended the development of fuel ethanol based on grain as the basic raw material, and has successively built several non grain fuel ethanol demonstration stations in Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan and other places Project or industrialization device, and such projects have the conditions of industrialization demonstration.

Practical work is the key. The core problem of fuel ethanol is never “whether to develop” but “how to develop”. “Stop selling” is just a small twists and turns in the development of the industry, so we should not exaggerate its negative impact by generalizing it. At the same time, “stop selling” also rings a warning bell for the industry, and the thinking of taking precautions is indispensable. The technical innovation and application practice of “non grain fuel ethanol” should be the next focus of the industry, enterprises and competent departments. Only in this way can the development of ethanol gasoline be decoupled from grain, thus helping to realize the “double security” of food and energy.

In recent years, the domestic ethanol market continued to rise. According to the sample data monitored by the business agency, the domestic ethanol market price was 6500 yuan / ton on October 14, and 6862 yuan / ton on November 4, with an increase of 5.58% during the period, 9.15% on a month on month basis, and 26.61% on a year-on-year basis. The main reasons are as follows: raw material corn fell slightly, raw material procurement in Northeast China was slightly difficult, enterprises ordered delivery, individual stocks existed, and downstream liquor and chemical industry just needed to purchase.

Quotation of 95% ethanol of some Shandong ethanol production enterprises:

Enterprise price (yuan / ton) device dynamic

Shandong Yusheng / 50000 T / a cassava alcohol plant shut down

Shandong Wudi Runsheng / 50000 T / a cassava alcohol plant shut down

Shandong fulichun normal 6650 cassava ethanol plant

Shandong Chengguang general grade 6850/

Shandong Chengguang no water 7450/

On the one hand, the market of raw corn fell slightly, on the other hand, the international epidemic situation is still severe, some people in the industry are optimistic about export, and the domestic epidemic prevention and control may also trigger a new round of demand. Business agency ethanol analysts predict that this week’s domestic ethanol market high volatility.

1、 Price trend

According to the business club’s big list data, aniline continued to rise in the first half of October, and stabilized the price in the second half of the month. On October 1, the price of aniline in Shandong was 5100-5300 yuan / ton, and that in Nanjing was 5500-5600 yuan / ton; on October 31, the price of aniline in Shandong was 6600-6700 yuan / ton, and that in Nanjing was 6700-6800 yuan / ton, with an average monthly increase of 25.79%.

2、 Analysis and comment

Raw materials, pure benzene: meet the National Day in early October, the price of pure benzene is stable. Return after the festival, driven by the downstream styrene pull up, prices rose rapidly. Near the end of the month, crude oil plummeted, combined with the weak fundamentals of pure benzene itself, the price fell weakly. This month, Sinopec North China increased 300 yuan / ton, and other regions increased 150 yuan / ton. On October 1, the listed price of pure benzene was 3000-3450 yuan / ton (average price was 3380 yuan / ton), and on October 31, it was 3350-3650 yuan / ton (average price was 3575 yuan / ton), with an increase of 5.77% this month.

Nitric acid: entered the “gold nine silver ten”, nitric acid market was better, nitric acid continued to rise in October. On October 1, the price of nitric acid in East China was 1516.67 yuan / ton and 1616.67 yuan / ton on October 31, up 100 yuan / ton or 6.59% compared with the beginning of the month.

The demand for MDI, auxiliaries and other products in the downstream of “Jinjiu Yinshi” aniline recovered, the profit margin expanded, and the operating rate rose, which supported the demand for aniline. During the month, some enterprises mainly supplied export and contract orders, and the spot volume was less, and the price rose rapidly. With the restart of a aniline plant in Jinling Dawang, the market supply increased and the shortage of aniline was relieved, and the price began to stabilize.

3、 Future forecast

In terms of raw materials, the port pressure of pure benzene remains unchanged, and the process of de stocking is slow. In addition, the price difference between internal and external plates is large, and the import pressure is increasing. However, in November, the downstream is expected to have new demand, which has a certain support for the price of pure benzene, and the pure benzene has a certain resistance to fall.

Dongying Huatai began maintenance at the end of the month, but Tianji device is expected to restart in early November, and the overall supply side has little change. Pay attention to the price trend of raw materials and maintenance plan of downstream enterprises. Aniline prices are expected to be strong in November.

Trade name: potassium chloride

Latest price (November 2): 1950.00 yuan / ton

On November 2, the mixed price of potassium chloride in Qinghai was temporarily stable, which was in line with the quotation on October 30. At present, the main contradiction in the market is that the supply exceeds demand, the trading atmosphere is cold, the downstream purchasing is mainly required, the overall inventory is low, the purchasing market momentum is low, and the domestic potassium chloride market is stable.

In the near future, the price of potassium chloride in Qinghai area may fluctuate slightly, and the quotation is about 1900-2000 yuan / ton.

Adipic acid market trend chart

According to the data from the large list of business associations, the domestic adipic acid market rose in October, which is also the end of the tepid market for six months since April. According to the data monitored by the business agency, adipic acid in East China rose by 5.14% in the whole month, mainly due to the sharp rise in upstream costs, the continuous rise of pure benzene price, and the improvement of downstream PA66 market. According to the monitoring of business agency, the current quotation range of adipic acid is 6800-7200 yuan / ton.

From the perspective of market supply, the operating rate of adipic acid manufacturers remained stable in October, about 80% or more. The market supply was relatively sufficient, and the manufacturers’ inventory pressure was large. Dealers normally take goods, although Jinjiu did not make efforts, but silver ten adipic acid price appeared small Yangchun market.

In terms of cost, the upstream crude oil price mainly maintained the range adjustment, and the upward rush was weak. Especially at the end of the month, affected by the overseas epidemic situation, the price of pure benzene rose sharply this month, with an increase of more than 10% in the second half of October. The pressure of cost (as shown in the figure above) forced the price of adipic acid to rise.

Market trend of pure benzene

In terms of downstream demand, the terminal performance improved slightly. Although the chemical industry recovered steadily in the late stage of the epidemic, the operating rate of downstream factories increased slightly. In addition, rigid consumption of polyurethane in the downstream remained stable, and the market of PA66 also rose, with a monthly increase of 7.99%, as shown in the figure above.

In the later stage, it seems that the market of adipic acid is mainly driven by the upstream and downstream, and whether the price of adipic acid can rise in the later period depends on whether the demand can keep up with it. However, at present, with the approaching of winter, the downstream operating rate may decline, and the influence of environmental protection and other factors will make it difficult for adipic acid to have a big market, and it is unlikely that adipic acid will continue to rise.

Acetone rose first and then fell in October. According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the mainstream offer of the East China market was 6800 yuan / ton after the festival, while in the middle of the month, the East China market rose to 7500 yuan / ton, and the market in East China increased by more than 10% in the first half of the month. However, the overall trend of decline in the next month was not long, and the low-end prices of 6500-6600 yuan / ton appeared in the morning of the 29th However, on the afternoon of the 29th, with the decrease of port inventory, the downstream inquiry increased rapidly, and the actual order purchase filled the market one after another. On the 30th, the last trading day in October, the port inventory dropped to 13000 tons. The early offers from the shipholders were less, and the sporadic offers were mostly around 7100 yuan / ton. It was heard that the market transaction was also between 6800 and 7000 yuan / ton 。 It was expected that October would finish smoothly under the condition of poor demand and low supply pressure, but the market was volatile, with the acetone market soaring by 7.58% on the last trading day.

At present, the mainstream factories offer 6700-6800 yuan / ton, while in the market, the offer in East China is 7100 yuan / ton, that in South China is 7400 yuan / ton, and that in Shandong and around Yanshan is 7200 yuan / ton.

From the point of view of the products themselves, as the weathervane of the national market, the negotiated price in East China once fell to 6500 yuan / ton, while the market rose sharply at the end of the month. At present, the operating rate of downstream factories is relatively high, and most of the downstream products have a good profit margin. Especially in the current special period, the pharmaceutical industry continues to improve, and the demand for acetone is continuous, and the port inventory drops to 13000 tons at the end of the month Under the condition that the quantity of factories is average, the demand is slightly improved and the market is greatly higher.

Market forecast: after the domestic acetone market fell, the market rebounded sharply. Next month, lihuayi phase II and Zhejiang Petrochemical products are expected to be listed, and the terminal procurement will be promoted steadily. It is expected that the acetone market will be stable in the short term, with an offer of about 7000 yuan / ton.

1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring of the business agency, the price of steam coal has been stable for the time being. On October 29, the average port price of steam coal remained at 607 yuan / ton, while on October 1, the average price of steam coal was 611.25 yuan / ton, down 0.7%, and the price was 6.44% higher than last year.

On October 28, the commodity index of steam coal was 73.13, down 0.06 points compared with yesterday, 29.01% lower than 103.01 points (2011-11-15), and 63.60% higher than 44.70 points, the lowest point on January 20, 2016. (Note: period refers to 2011-09-01 to now)

2、 Analysis of influencing factors

In terms of origin, Shanxi area large mine association shipping, coal prices are strong. The overall sales of lump coal in Inner Mongolia is good. In Yulin, Shaanxi Province, 17 new coal mines have withdrawn from the production capacity, and the downstream demand is still strong, and the coal price is expected to be strong.

Downstream power plants: entering the fourth quarter, the demand for electric coal is strong in winter peak season, and the inventory decreases rapidly. The centralized procurement of power plants leads to the rapid rise of coal price. However, with the continuous winter storage and replenishment of the previous period of time, the coal inventory of power plants increased, and the pace of market replenishment slowed down, which limited the short-term demand for steam coal and had a negative impact on the market sentiment. At present, the mainstream closing price of 5500 kcal steam coal is about 605-610 yuan / ton.

According to the data of the National Bureau of statistics, from January to September, 2.79 billion tons of raw coal were produced, a year-on-year decrease of 0.1%. In September, the production of raw coal was 330 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%, an increase of 0.8% over the previous month; the average daily output was 11.04 million tons, with an increase of 530000 tons on a month on month basis.

Business agency analysts believe: short term non electric terminal production will still be in the peak season, the north will gradually enter the heating season, thermal power production and electricity coal consumption demand will be improved. The daily consumption of power plants in southern China is high, and there are few import quotas left in coastal areas. It is predicted that the short-term steam coal price will be stronger and the operation will be mainly based on the downstream market demand.
