1、 Price trend:

According to the data of the business club’s block list, the domestic PA6 market was active in late February, and the spot price rose rapidly recently. As of February 24, the mainstream offer price of sample enterprises for Zhongyou 2.75-2.85 was about 15333.33 yuan / ton, 20.73% higher than the average price level at the beginning of the month.

2、 The influencing factors were analyzed

Upstream, domestic caprolactam market is also rising. The price of pure benzene rose continuously, which strongly supported the cost of caprolactam. Affected by the cold weather in the United States, many refineries shut down. Crude oil and chemicals rose sharply, supporting the domestic market. At the same time, caprolactam supply has not been substantially improved, the fundamentals are good, and the market direction is clear. Caprolactam market is expected to continue optimistic trend.

Raw material caprolactam market is strong, the cost of PA6 support is strong. As early as before the festival, the demand for PA6 chips rose due to the small peak of stock preparation before the festival, and there was no pressure on the inventory of polymerization plants, and some of them oversold. Under the influence of local new year’s promotion, the downstream industry resumed work rapidly after the new year, especially the spinning enterprises’ demand for PA6 started ahead of time. Coupled with the shortage of international chemicals supply, the current bulk commodity prices are stronger, which generally boost the product prices of the plasticizing industry chain.

3、 Future forecast:

Business analysts believe that: in late February, the domestic market of PA6 was strong, and the main positive impact came from the strong market of raw material caprolactam. The cost of PA6 was stable and strong. The strong external market PA6 also boosted the domestic spot price. In addition to the current inflation expectations in the macro market, the price of PA6 is expected to continue to rise.

General rise of nonferrous plate drives cobalt market up

It can be seen from the bar chart of the nonferrous metal index of the business association that the nonferrous metal index rose sharply after the festival, and the market of nonferrous metal plate rose generally, which led to the rise of cobalt price.

High nickel price inhibits cobalt free battery

As can be seen from the monthly K-bar chart of nickel price of the business community, except for the first quarter of 2020 when the nickel price was affected by the epidemic, the nickel price rose generally in the second, third and fourth quarters. In 2020, the nickel price rose by 12.66%, compared with the cobalt price rose by 2.31% in the same period. The nickel price rose significantly, and the rising nickel price increased the cost of cobalt free ternary battery, which was less than expected in the market With the increase of expectation, the rising power of cobalt price increases.

Market Overview

Bai Jiaxin, data analyst of business news agency, believes that the general rise of nonferrous plate drives the rise of cobalt market, and the sharp rise of international cobalt price stimulates the further rise of domestic cobalt price. In February, cobalt price ushered in a small peak and entered the four times of cobalt market. In the long run, 3C businesses such as new energy vehicles and mobile phones are prominent, and there is sufficient demand in the cobalt market. However, the promotion of cobalt free batteries is less than expected, and the demand in the cobalt market is expected to increase. On the supply side, Africa is affected by the epidemic, and the supply is limited, so the risk of insufficient supply is high, and the risk of insufficient supply is high Cobalt market has sufficient momentum to rise. There is a huge room for cobalt price to rise. Generally speaking, the risk of short-term cobalt price decline is large, and the long-term cobalt market has sufficient momentum. Cobalt – worth long-term possession.

According to the data monitored by the business club, as of February 23, the average price of domestic power high-grade product lithium iron phosphate was 42000.00 yuan / ton. After the festival, the price of lithium iron phosphate rose widely. Due to the rising raw materials, lithium iron phosphate rose passively, with a daily increase of 1000 yuan / ton.

Due to the soaring price of upstream lithium carbonate, the price of LiFePO4 rises passively, the purchase of raw materials is cautious, and the bullish atmosphere is strong.

Most of them are contract customers, while the upstream lithium carbonate industry is not The price of industrial grade lithium carbonate is 73000-76000 yuan / ton, and that of battery grade lithium carbonate is 77000-79000 yuan / ton. In the short term, it will maintain a high level, and the rising space is limited. It is mainly used in new energy vehicles, energy storage and other fields, among which the new energy vehicle industry is the largest one. In recent years, the market development of LiFePO4 battery is slower than that of ternary lithium battery due to the weakness of battery life. According to the statistics of China Battery Industry Association, the output of lithium iron phosphate materials for lithium batteries in China in 2020 is only about 143000 tons.

On February 22, the lithium carbonate commodity index was 185.99, up 1.02 points from yesterday, down 54.09% from 405.10 points (2018-01-07), the highest point in the cycle, and up 88.75% from 98.54 points, the lowest point on October 16, 2014. (Note: period refers to the period from September 1, 2011 to now)

Business community LiFePO4 analysts believe that: in the short term to maintain a high level of operation, rising space is limited.

Trend of phenol Market in main regions of China

Offer of major factories and mainstream areas around the Spring Festival

After the Spring Festival, on the first working day, the factory led the rise and boosted the market. The traders followed the offer and pushed up. With the support of the upstream and downstream, the phenol market was pushed up again near the weekend. The downstream enterprises actively resumed work and the market enthusiasm increased. They easily crossed the 7000 yuan mark and reached 8000 yuan. The reasons are as follows

Price trend of factories in East China around the Spring Festival

First, the cost side helped push up. Let’s start with crude oil. On February 17, the WTI oil price was at $61.14/barrel, and Brent was at $63.34/barrel, another year’s high. On February 18, the Brent oil price once exceeded $65 / barrel, and the international oil price hit a 13 month high. According to the monitoring of business news agency, since February, the WTI oil price has increased by 15.96%, and Brent oil price has increased by 16.15%. On the one hand, the effect of state-controlled oil production is ideal. On the other hand, the inventory of the United States and China has declined. Especially under the influence of cold weather in the United States, the operating rate of refineries has declined, the inventory of refined oil has decreased significantly, and the demand for heating oil has increased, which has a positive effect on oil prices. At present, OPEC + is still strictly implementing the production reduction agreement, and it is still necessary to continue to observe the implementation rate of production reduction in the later period. In addition, the cold wave in the United States has a temporary impact on refineries, and the output is expected to rebound in the later period, so there is resistance for the oil price to continue to rise in the short term.

In terms of raw material pure benzene, the crude oil rose sharply, and the pure benzene rose sharply. According to the monitoring data of business news agency, on February 9, Shandong pure benzene factory offered 5340 yuan / ton, and on February 20, Shandong pure benzene offered 6150 yuan / ton, with a 15.17% rise in pure benzene after the festival.

After the Spring Festival, the domestic propylene (Shandong) market rose sharply, and the price continued to rise. The price was 7060 yuan / ton on February 14, 7196 yuan / ton on February 17 and 7761 yuan / ton on February 20, with an increase of 9.94% on the 7th and 7.85% on the 4th.

Second, the downstream products reached a new high. When it comes to downstream products, bisphenol A should bear the brunt. So far, the market of bisphenol A has risen to 21000-22000 yuan / ton. Since 2020, bisphenol A has risen by 57% continuously, with a year-on-year increase of 93.5%. The price before the festival is unreachable, but surprisingly, it has reached a new high after the festival. As shown in the figure below, the market price trend of bisphenol A can be seen. Since the year of the ox, the rising trend of bisphenol a festival has reached a new high in the following years. At present, it is difficult to ease the shortage of goods in the market. The downstream epoxy resin market is rising at the same time, and the factory purchases on demand. The operators have a positive attitude and continue to be bullish.
