At the beginning of September, although the market rose, the increase was not obvious. As the demand of the terminal market has not been significantly improved, the market supply is sufficient, and the main rise is small. It was not until July 7 that there was a significant pull up. Before that, due to the influence of seasonal factors, terminal demand was slow, and dimethyl ether had been in a fluctuating downward trend. The rise can be described as a successful reversal. The reasons for the rise come from two points. First, as the off-season in August has passed, September has entered the traditional sales peak season. With the gradual decrease of weather and temperature, the terminal demand is expected to improve, and the news is good for the market mentality. The second is also the main reason, which is that the upstream methanol rose sharply in September. The sharp rise in costs has brought obvious support to the market. Under this pressure, most manufacturers have a strong mentality and take advantage of the situation to push up prices. Downstream buy up not buy down the mentality of entering the market is more positive, market trading atmosphere is good, manufacturers shipping smoothly. Prices continued to rise to the 18th.

 

Until the 20th, the rise of dimethyl ether was suspended and entered the downward channel. Due to the weak decline of methanol cost and limited support for the market, combined with the collapse of international crude oil, which depresses the mentality of the civil market of liquefied gas, it follows the downward trend. With the cost of methanol and liquefied gas both falling, the dimethyl ether Market was significantly suppressed, and the enthusiasm for downstream market entry turned weak, and more delisting was mainly wait-and-see. The factory shipment situation is general, the price falls weakly.

 

Sodium Molybdate

However, the decline did not last, and it returned to the rising line in a few days. At the end of the month, with the arrival of the double festival, the downstream replenishment demand before the stock Festival entered the market one after another. Factory shipping atmosphere is hot, low inventory operation. At this stage, the international crude oil rebounded sharply, boosting the LPG civil market, mainly following the rise. In terms of cost, methanol price is firm, and there are many favorable factors in dimethyl ether Market, so it will continue to be dominant.

 

In September, the cost of methanol rose first and then consolidated, with an increase of 10.12% in the month. The sharp increase in cost has obvious support for the DME market. Especially at the beginning of the month, the methanol market rose rapidly. At the beginning of the month, the domestic methanol market showed an obvious upward trend, and some manufacturers raised the ex factory quotation several times within the week, with the range of 50-80 yuan / ton. Methanol market quotation in various regions has increased to varying degrees, especially in Shandong and Shanxi. The main factors of the price rise are the favorable futures driven, and the favorable impact of the recovery of downstream demand. The methanol market in China continued to rise in June. Some manufacturers temporarily shut down their devices, and the shipment was fair, and the manufacturer’s offer was firm. Since the last ten days of the month, the methanol market appeared a turning point and fell slightly. Due to the rapid rise in the early stage, the downstream market was not able to follow up, and the storage and discharge demand of manufacturers before the National Day holiday fell down narrowly at the end of the month, but the price remained firm.

 

At present, the operating rate of dimethyl ether Market is about 15%, which is increased compared with the previous period, and the market supply is relatively stable. Terminal demand increased slightly, downstream market entry enthusiasm is general, manufacturers’ shipment situation is good, inventory pressure is not big. In September, the rising cost of methanol brought obvious support to the market, but the LPG civil market was abnormal, and Jinjiu fell again and again. With the arrival of the “silver ten”, methanol is still very strong at present. The terminal demand of LPG for civil use is expected to increase, and the price may rise. In the future, there are still many favorable factors in the DME market, and it is possible to go up in October.

The propylene analysts of the chemical branch of the business society think: in a comprehensive view, the current propylene manufacturers have a small inventory, and the crude oil price is declining, but the downstream products are profitable, the operating rate is high, and there is a demand for replenishment before the festival, which has a certain support for propylene. The overall positive factors are more than the negative factors. Now the propylene price is at the top position, and the upward trend is difficult. Therefore, it is expected that the propylene price may go during the national day Stability is the key.

The international crude oil price fluctuated around us $40 / barrel in September. As of the 29th, the settlement price of main contracts in WTI crude oil futures market in the United States was 39.29 US dollars / barrel, while that of Brent crude oil futures market was 41.56 US dollars / barrel. The oil price fell, mainly due to the sharp increase of epidemic cases in Europe and the United States, and the market demand for fuel was broad All over the world, crude oil prices remained volatile, and the price trend of p-xylene market was stable.

 

In September, the price trend of downstream PTA market dropped sharply, and the domestic PTA spot market market declined. As of the end of the month, the average price of PTA market was about 3350 yuan / ton, and the PTA price in September dropped by 7.92%. In September, several PTA units scheduled to be overhauled in September were delayed, but the continuous restart of multiple units led to the PTA start-up load returning to more than 90%. The spot supply is still loose, and the intermittent high production and sales of polyester in the downstream has a very limited effect on PTA market. The market lacks of good, the market mentality is not good, and the buying and selling atmosphere turns weak. In the traditional sales peak season of “Jinjiu Yinshi”, the polyester factory was in a disadvantageous situation of loss and high inventory. The weak terminal demand led to the insufficient quality of “Jinjiu” and the poor downstream market. The price trend of p-xylene in September was stable.

 

Chen Ling, PX analyst of business agency, believes that PTA will resume some maintenance units in the short term, and the maintenance plan of some units is delayed. In terms of demand, polyester starts to operate at a high level. However, there is a load reduction expectation in October. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the purchase of raw materials. In addition, crude oil prices are facing the risk of falling. It is predicted that the market price of p-xylene in October will fall.

Market trend of magnesium market in 2020

 

Benzalkonium chloride

In 2020, the price of magnesium ingot will be in a downward trend. According to the data of the business agency, affected by the epidemic situation in mid February, domestic transportation was blocked, and it was inconvenient to trade. The manufacturers sold the products in advance, and the price was mainly quoted. After the price rose sharply, with the real trading operation, affected by the poor overseas shipment, the domestic magnesium ingot price continued to move down. From March to April, the prices of most domestic bulk commodities went out of the “epidemic pit”, and the prices of magnesium ingots failed to follow the upward trend and moved down all the way. In mid September, the price of magnesium ingot began to stabilize.

 

The main reason for the decline of magnesium price

 

1. The exit is not smooth

 

The export proportion of magnesium ingot is relatively large, and the influence factors of external environment on magnesium ingot price are relatively large. According to relevant data statistics, China will export 452000 tons of various magnesium products in 2019, accounting for 46.6% of magnesium output.

 

2. The price of nonferrous metals is relatively high in the early period

 

The price of magnesium was high in 2017 / 2018, and did not follow the downward cycle of base metals. In 2019, the ladder decline mode was started, lagging behind non-ferrous metals.

 

Main reasons for recent stabilization

 

1. The price falls to a low level

 

On October 4, the magnesium commodity index was 75.41, flat with yesterday, down 34.10% from the cycle high of 114.43 (2012-08-01), and 3.76% higher than the lowest point of 72.68 on January 10, 2016. (Note: period refers to 2012-03-01 to now)

 

ferric sulfate (Poly ferric sulphate)

In other words, the current price is near the historical low, and the downward space is narrowed.

 

According to the analogy lag theory, the price of magnesium ingot lags behind the nonferrous metal plate for 1-2 years, and the nonferrous metal has hit the bottom and rebounded

 

On October 4, the nonferrous metals index was 901 points, unchanged with yesterday, 10.35% lower than 1005 points (2012-01-31), and 48.43% higher than the lowest point 607 on November 24, 2015. (Note: period refers to 2011-12-01 to now)

 

The price of magnesium ingot has a large upward space.

 

2. Output moves down

 

According to the statistics of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, from January to July 2020, China’s Communist magnesium reached 465400 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.66%.

 

Supply and demand side impact factors move down, cost side impact factors rise

 

In the early stage, the market price of magnesium ingot dropped to 12100 yuan / ton, and the profit margin of magnesium enterprises fell to the limit. Based on the consideration of cost side factors, domestic mainstream manufacturers have a sharp increase in willingness to support prices, and the influence of cost factors on prices is gradually enlarged. Different from profitable situations, the supply-demand side market is weak, which benefits buyers in the long short game, and the influence of supply-demand factors on prices is weakened in the near future.

 

In October, the price of magnesium may enter a period of shock platform

 

Based on the current low price of magnesium ingot, the profit has fallen, the willingness of manufacturers to support the price has risen, and the downward space has been narrowed. Ye Jianjun, an analyst at the business agency, believes that the price of magnesium in October may fluctuate the platform period, reaching the bottom and waiting to rise.
