The price of raw material methanol has fluctuated lower, the price range of liquid chlorine has been consolidated, and the cost support for dichloromethane is weak; The downstream refrigerant market is for winter storage and stocking, and phased replenishment provides certain support for trichloromethane. In addition, the overall low inventory of manufacturers has led to a slight increase in the price of trichloromethane. As of January 31, the mainstream factory price of trichloromethane in Shandong region is around 2250-2350 yuan/ton. But as the Spring Festival approaches and winter storage and stocking gradually end, the demand for trichloromethane is gradually weakening.

Recently (1.26-1.31), the price of raw material methanol has slightly decreased, and the price of liquid chlorine has stabilized at a low level. The cost support for trichloromethane is weak. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyishe, as of January 31st, the spot price of methanol was 2580 yuan/ton, a decrease of 1.34% from 2615 yuan/ton on the 25th. As of January 31st, the acceptance price of liquid chlorine tank trucks in Shandong region is around 250 yuan/ton, which is lower than the previous price.

 

During the mid to low season, the winter storage of terminal refrigerants has been partially stocked, which has strengthened the demand for trichloromethane. At the end of the month, the phased stocking ended, and the demand support for trichloromethane was weak.

 

Analysts from Business Society’s methane chloride data believe that cost and demand support is weak, but there is not much pressure on corporate inventory. It is expected that the trichloromethane market will narrow before the holiday.
