Silicone DMC is hard to be optimistic in the future due to insufficient demand

According to the monitoring data of business agency, as of July 9, the average price of silicone DMC market quotation in the mainstream areas of data monitoring was around 17466 yuan / ton. Compared with the first day, the average price decreased by 67 yuan / ton or 0.38%. Compared with June 1, the average price increased by 1933 yuan / ton, or 12.45%.

The game between supply and demand has become the key at the end of the month after three weeks of rising in June

 

In the past six months, the domestic silicone DMC market has experienced a three-week continuous rise of more than 12% since the beginning of June due to the low operating rate, the reduction of available supply sources of factories, and the favorable downstream demand atmosphere. After the end of June, the downstream demand showed signs of weakening, the market price stopped rising and stabilized, and some regional markets were mixed with ups and downs. The market turbulence led to the aggravation of the wait-and-see mood in the downstream. However, the inventory of silicone DMC is still low, and the supply pressure is not great. Therefore, most manufacturers’ quotations are still firm. The market situation quickly rebounded in the end of the month, but most of them were factory prices. The market shock sounded an alarm for the silicone DMC market in July.

 

Silicone DMC demand hindered in July

 

In July, the downstream demand of silicone DMC has been weakening. In addition, the operating rate of the plant has been improved. Although the existing inventory is low, it is difficult to hide the situation that the market is weak. The market of silicone DMC continues to go up, and the trend is obviously insufficient. The primary task of factories is to stabilize the current price. However, due to the deadlock between supply and demand, downstream shipment was hindered and inquiries were scarce. In the past few days, inventory of some factories was gradually accumulated, and it was difficult to keep the price stable. The offer dropped slightly, ranging from 200-300 yuan / ton. On the 6th, according to the data monitoring of the business agency, the average ex factory price of silicone DMC was 17366 yuan / ton, down 170 yuan / ton compared with 1 day. However, most of the existing DMC inventory of most factories is still low, so most of the manufacturers’ quotations remain firm. On the following 8 days, the market adjusted slightly to the average price of 17466 yuan / ton. At present, the mainstream ex factory quotation of silicone DMC is 17000-17800 yuan / ton, and a small part of high-end quotation is 18000 yuan / ton. However, the market trading atmosphere is not good and new orders are rare.

Short term market is hard to be optimistic

 

At present, the shipment of silicone oil silicone in the downstream is not smooth, the transaction is cold, and the market trend is mainly horizontal. The resistance of the industry to high price silicone DMC is increasing, and the wait-and-see sentiment is growing. Therefore, the short-term trend of silicone DMC is difficult to be optimistic, and the profits are not good. To the manufacturers, the price stability has been weak, and the market of silicone DMC in the future market has a big decline.
