Cost pressure increases, BPA market price goes up

Since May, the raw materials phenol and acetone have been rising continuously, the BPA plant has been under pressure, and the market price has been rising unilaterally. According to the monitoring of business agency, the market offer was 8800 yuan / ton on May 5, and 9960 yuan / ton as of May 22, up 13.18% on the whole.

Since May, phenol and acetone have shown an overall upward trend. Up to now, phenol offers 6600-6700 yuan / ton, and acetone offers 8000 yuan / ton. Therefore, the theoretical cost of BPA plant is 9902 yuan / ton, and the gross profit is 58 yuan / ton.

 

First of all, from the cost point of view, phenol, as an important raw material of bisphenol A products, has experienced twists and turns since May. After the market goes up, it will be recalled, and then it will continue to push up the price with insufficient driving force. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the average offer of phenol Market in China was 6400 yuan / ton on May 5, 6800 yuan / ton on May 22, with an overall increase of 6.25%, of which 7012 yuan / ton was offered on May 10, with a maximum amplitude of 9.57%. By the time of publication, the offers of major mainstream regions in China were 6600-6700 yuan / ton in East China, 6600-6700 yuan / ton in South China, 6600-6700 yuan / ton in Shandong and surrounding areas of Yanshan. The consumption rate of phenol in the production unit of bisphenol A accounted for 0.87, the production cost of p-bisphenol a accounted for a large proportion, and the upward price of phenol after saving strongly supported the price of bisphenol A.

 

Acetone, another important raw material, accounts for 0.27% of BPA consumption rate in the production unit. Although the proportion is less than that of phenol, the cost of high valence acetone for BPA can not be ignored. After the festival, acetone overall showed a sharp push up and a narrow callback. According to the monitoring of the business agency, the acetone market offered 7325 yuan / ton on May 5, and 8175 yuan / ton on May 22, with an overall increase of 11.6% and a maximum amplitude of 13.58%. By the time of publication, the offers of major mainstream regions in China were 8000-8100 yuan / ton in East China, 7850-7950 yuan / ton in South China and 8400-8500 yuan / ton in Shandong and surrounding areas of Yanshan.

Secondly, from the demand side, the downstream PC market as a whole shows a unilateral upward trend, rising from 12100 yuan / ton to 13433 yuan / ton, with an overall upward trend of 11.02%. The upward mobility of PC mainly comes from the implementation of the “one helmet one belt” policy. As the raw material for helmet front baffle production, the soaring helmet will surely benefit the raw materials, and the PC market will inevitably usher in a small peak of development, but helmet Technology The content is low, the service life is long, and the sharp rise trend is difficult to appear. In the long run, there is still a weak expectation in the domestic PC market. Another important downstream is the high-level finishing of epoxy resin. At present, the liquid epoxy resin is in the period of 19400-20000 yuan / ton. The downstream is in a slow recovery period, and the demand is gradually increasing. The upstream bisphenol A is the main one. After a large round of upward movement, the offer of epichlorohydrin is stable, and the price is relatively high. With the support of favorable cost and demand, the transaction of epoxy resin is gradually increasing. There is no pressure for resin factory to ship.

 

Thirdly, the domestic bisphenol a unit is 70-80% as a whole, among which, Sinopec Mitsubishi 180000 T / A, Lihua yiweiyuan 240000 T / A, Changchun 400000 T / a start-up are 80%, Kesi Chuang 410000 T / a bisphenol a unit is shut down on May 9, Sinopec Mitsui and Huizhou Zhongxin are operating at full load, but mainly for their own use, and some of the suppliers are long-term customers.

 

From the perspective of the whole phenol ketone industry chain, the overall increase is the main trend, the upstream pure benzene and propylene show a unilateral upward trend after the festival, and the middle and downstream products are also followed by the upper actors. From the macro perspective, WTI crude oil rose from 19.78 US dollars / barrel to 33.92 US dollars / ton after the festival, up 71.49%. The sharp rise of crude oil after the festival has formed a good support for petrochemical products. At present, the cost side has declined, and the terminal demand has not increased significantly. However, the start-up of BPA plant is relatively stable, and the market supply is fair. In the short term, the BPA market will continue to maintain a narrow trend and push up. However, due to the insufficient benefits, it is difficult to continue to rise in the future. The business society expects that the BPA market in East China will maintain at 9950-10100 yuan / ton, and long-term attention will be paid to the start-up of downstream plants.

Can natural rubber market be strong in the near future?

Data shows that the natural rubber commodity index on May 22 was 29.68, down 0.48 points from yesterday, 70.32% from the highest point of 100.00 (2011-09-01), and 8.80% higher than the lowest point of 27.28 on April 02, 2020. (Note: cycle refers to 2011-09-01 to now)

 

As shown in the figure above, from the beginning of January to may 2020, the overall market of natural rubber shows a downward trend first and then a small upward trend, and the price at the end of March and the beginning of April is a phased bottom. According to the data of natural rubber (standard 1) in East China monitored by the business association, the mainstream price of Baodao whole milk on January 1, 2020 is about 12130 yuan / ton, and the mainstream price on April 2 is 9200 yuan / ton, with a drop of 24.15% since the beginning of the year. Since then, Tianjiao has been shaking upward until May 20, 10170 yuan / ton, with a rebound of 10.54%. In the first and middle of May, the whole price of Tianjiao fluctuated upward.

Chitosan oligosaccharide

Factor analysis:

 

Supply: China: the rubber cutting in the production area is still advancing slowly. Factors such as weather drought, insect disease and low rubber price caused by poor demand are concentrated on rubber farmers, resulting in weak willingness to cut rubber, small production of new rubber, local gap of new rubber and 19 year rubber in Banna production area, and price adjustment. Southeast Asia: it is expected that the drought in Southeast Asia will be alleviated to some extent in June, and the rubber cutting will be resumed gradually at that time, but the rubber volume caused by the drought will be delayed by about one month compared with that in previous years; at the same time, although the current rubber price is at a low price, but for the difficult economy during the epidemic period, the rubber agricultural rubber cutting can still maintain a relatively stable income, so the industry is expected to be around the middle and late June The rubber production in Southeast Asia will be significantly improved. Therefore, at present, the amount of new rubber at home and abroad has little impact on the market supply and more inventory consumption.

 

Inventory: data shows that as of May 22, the natural rubber inventory of the previous period was 239395 tons, and the warehouse receipt was 234550 tons, 80 tons and 160 tons less than last week respectively; from the perspective of the rubber inventory pressure of the exchange, the total latex and No. 20 rubber inventory decreased slightly. It is reported that the rubber stock in Qingdao free trade zone is at a high level and under heavy pressure. The turnover of USD glue Market in Qingdao Free Trade Zone improved slightly, and the price of Baodao whole milk was 10000 yuan / ton. The short-term domestic supply of new rubber is small, the overall domestic inventory is high, and the contradiction between supply and demand is still large.

 

Demand: tire enterprises: under the current situation, the operating rate of domestic and foreign tire enterprises is still at a low level. As of May 14, the operating rate of domestic semi steel tire manufacturers was 50.93%, up 23.27% month on month, down 14.78% year on year; the operating rate of all steel tire manufacturers was 69.61%, up 12.30% month on month, down 1.41% year on year. From the perspective of market reaction, domestic traders generally feel that the volume of rubber raw material transactions this month is far behind that of March and April, with a large gap. Automobile: according to the data of China Automobile Association, in April, China’s automobile production and sales were 2.012 million and 2.07 million respectively, up 46.6% and 43.5% on a month on month basis, up 2.3% and 4.4% on a year-on-year basis, respectively, and the automobile sales volume ended the decline for 21 consecutive months. However, as one of the most important auto parts, the output of tires has not gone out of the decline path. In April, the output of domestic rubber tires was 66.612 million, down 12.2% year-on-year; from January to April, the cumulative output was 218.072 million, down 17.4% year-on-year. In terms of tire export, according to the statistics of Qingdao Customs, in the first four months, Shandong’s foreign trade export amounted to 337.42 billion yuan, an increase of 0.9% from a decrease of 4.5% in the first quarter; tire export fell by 17% month on month, of which tire export fell by 8.4% in the first quarter.

Macro policy: first of all, the government work report pointed out that it is expected to reduce the new burden for enterprises by more than 2.5 trillion yuan in the whole year. This year, we will continue to implement systems such as the reduction of value-added tax rate and enterprise endowment insurance rate, and increase tax cuts and reduce fees by about 500 billion yuan. In the early stage, the policy of tax reduction and fee reduction due before June was introduced, including exemption from the payment of small and medium-sized enterprises’ endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and work-related injury insurance units, reduction of small-scale taxpayers’ value-added tax, exemption from value-added tax on public transport, catering and accommodation, tourism and entertainment, culture and sports and other services, reduction of Civil Aviation Development Fund and port construction fees, and the implementation period was all extended to the end of this year. The payment of income tax for small and micro enterprises and individual businesses will be postponed to next year. It is expected to reduce the burden for enterprises by more than 2.5 trillion yuan in the whole year. Secondly, the government work report said that the loan extension policy for small and medium-sized micro enterprises should be extended to the end of March next year, the loan extension for inclusive small and micro enterprises should be extended to the full extent, and the loan negotiation for other difficult enterprises should be extended. The industry believes that the epidemic has disrupted the normal production and operation order of the rubber tire industry, the government work report has given the industry enterprises “reassurance”, the implementation of various tax preferential policies, and the use of “real gold and silver” to support the resumption of production and help the enterprise development.

 

Future forecast:

According to the analysis of the business club, the national two sessions and active fiscal policy may directly boost the nominal GDP growth of the whole year by 3-5 percentage points, which is conducive to the better resumption of production of rubber enterprises. From the perspective of domestic and international cutting situation, the current output is very small, which is not enough to impact the market. On the contrary, the prices in some regions with tight supply are very strong. From the perspective of downstream situation, tire enterprises will gradually benefit from favorable policies, with increased start-up, and the demand is expected to increase, but it also depends on the demand pulling situation of the consumer market; in some foreign regions, regardless of the epidemic situation, the “recovery of economy” may lead to demand. In the future, it mainly depends on the consumption stimulus and the play of the favorable role of policies. In June, the production of new rubber will directly affect the trend of Tianjiao. If the production and inventory increase, Tianjiao market may continue to be under pressure. However, in the short term, if a large number of new rubber is still not cut, Tianjiao market may have a wave of short-term strength on the premise that the stimulus plays an obvious role first.

It can be seen from the above figure that the trend of nylon filament is basically the same as that of cyclohexanone at the raw material end, while cyclohexanone is dominated by crude oil, and the demand end is not the main factor for pricing. The demand in the downstream did not improve greatly. The rise of nylon showed a ladder like pattern with low price rise frequency. The price was adjusted once a week or two weeks, and the overall price rose with the raw materials.

 

Analysts of the business club believe that in the near future, the support of the raw material end is strong, the recovery plan of the multinational economy makes the crude oil rise steadily, which supports the recovery of chemical products, and the supply of caprolactam is tight in the short term, which is expected to slow the rise of nylon filament.

Supplement of imported goods, poor demand, difficult to push up the market price of phenol

Market situation: after the market rose, the market weakened rapidly. The market in East China dropped to 6450 yuan / ton. After the market rose, it fell rapidly. For a while, the shipment volume in North China was controlled. After the arrival of the port, the port stock was less than 15000 tons. The phenol market rose again this week. However, the downstream demand is not optimistic. In addition, the current arrival volume at the end of May is relatively sufficient, and the phenol Market is weak. According to the monitoring of the business association, the listing price of petrochemical manufacturers has remained stable at 6900-7000 yuan / ton. The market offer in East China is 6650-6700 yuan / ton, that in South China is 6850 yuan / ton, and that in Shandong and surrounding Yanshan is 6900 yuan / ton.

 

Benzalkonium chloride

Analysis and comment: first of all, in the near future, the import source is sufficient, and the arrival volume is increasing. It is reported that 3000 tons of phenol from Singapore respectively arrived at Hengyang warehouse in late May, and another 2000 tons arrived at Hengyang and Huaxi warehouse before the end of the month. It is expected that there will still be arrival at Hong Kong in early June, and the supply of imported goods will increase the domestic market.

 

Secondly, raw materials continue to rise, with strong cost support. First of all, the pure benzene market. The price of imported pure benzene in Asia continued to rise, forming a good support for the domestic market. The price of pure benzene in Sinopec rose to 3250 yuan / ton, and the atmosphere of domestic pure benzene negotiation was relatively stable. From the overall perspective of May, the pure benzene showed a slight upward trend.

 

Another important raw material propylene market, the propylene market has maintained a unilateral upward trend since May 1st, and continued to rise steadily. Up to now, the mainstream transactions in the propylene market are more than 6900 yuan / ton, with a cumulative upward trend of 16.95% this month. The wide plant operating rate in the downstream propylene market is relatively high, the demand for propylene is stable and upward, and the propylene shipment is smooth. Currently, the propylene inventory is still low, short-term Propylene will still maintain a steady upward trend.

 

Sodium Molybdate

Thirdly, the downstream market is running at a high level, with a positive attitude. The downstream market is firm. One of the important downstream markets, bisphenol a market, is affected by the upstream of downstream PC. It is hard to find the low price in each major market. The “helmet” policy stimulates the upstream of PC market. However, there is no obvious impact on the market of bisphenol A, but most traders hold the attitude of low price. In terms of bisphenol a plant, Sinopec Mitsubishi plant will restart after shutdown, and other major mainstream markets will resume The factory will not offer more downstream devices or long customers. At present, the quotation of bisphenol a market in East China is 9700 yuan / ton, the quotation of bisphenol a market in North China is 9800 yuan / ton, and the quotation of bisphenol a market in Huangshan is 9800 yuan / ton. The downstream resin factory is under normal operation, and the quotation of resin is slightly improved.

 

Future market forecast: in this week’s opening phenol Market, under the favorable situation of tight supply, the cargo holders actively pushed up the market, and then from the recent transaction situation, the downstream has obvious conflict with high price phenol, the downstream procurement enthusiasm is not high, and the market volume is not optimistic. The business agency expects the phenol Market to run steadily in the short term, and expects the reference offer of the market in East China to be 6700 yuan / ton.

Overall, the domestic zinc market has weakened, and the recovery of zinc market has slowed down.

 

3、 Future prospects

 

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst of business club, thinks that after May Festival, the stock of zinc market in the international market slowly decreased, and the import of zinc market was affected slightly, which is good for the domestic zinc market. In the domestic zinc market, domestic infrastructure projects are still working, and the demand for zinc ingots is increasing, but the price of zinc is rising sharply, the pressure on downstream procurement is increasing, the enthusiasm of downstream customers’ procurement is weakening, and the inventory of zinc market is slowing down; in May, the processing fee of zinc concentrate continues to fall, the enthusiasm of zinc smelting enterprises to start work is declining, and the supply of zinc market is declining. Generally speaking, the rising momentum of zinc market in the future is sufficient, and the main trend of zinc price in the future is still rising, but the rising of zinc price in the future may slow down, and it is expected that zinc price in the future will fluctuate slightly.
