The economic recovery is slow, the demand for zinc market is slow, the demand for zinc market is negative, and the downward pressure of zinc market is greater.

Analysis, review and Prospect

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst at the business agency, said: the prices of Lunzhou zinc and Shanghai zinc both fell by more than 5% this week, and the zinc price fell sharply, indicating that the recent weak zinc market and the lack of expectation of zinc market demand may be the main reason for the continuous decline of zinc price in the near future. Recently, the new data of foreign epidemic situation is still high, and there is a trend of “new high”, which has formed a major blow to the current global resumption of production and work. The global economic recovery is delayed, and the zinc market’s demand for zinc ingots is expected to decline. With the US election approaching, investors are nervous, investors are cautious about market fluctuations, and their risk aversion is high. Stock markets in many countries are falling and stock markets are falling, which is a drag on period Commodity zinc market fell, on the spot zinc price market negative. Generally speaking, the panic psychology in the zinc market is big, which drags down the price of zinc ingots. It is expected that the future zinc market will fluctuate lower.

At the beginning of September, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 926 yuan / ton. On September 27, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 1090 yuan / ton, with a price increase of 17.63%.

Let’s specifically analyze the reasons for the rise and fall of hydrogen peroxide in September 2020

In the first half of September, the market of terminal caprolactam rose due to the shortage of supply due to the equipment maintenance of pure benzene manufacturers. In addition, September was the traditional peak season for hydrogen peroxide consumption, and the terminal demand was boosted. The price of hydrogen peroxide has been rising all the time. The price of hydrogen peroxide rose by more than 7% in the first week and continued to increase in the second week. As of September 13, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 1096 yuan / ton, an increase of more than 18%.

In the second half of the month, due to the hydrogen peroxide market rose too fast in the early stage, the enthusiasm for terminal procurement declined. After the hydrogen peroxide surge, a small callback was successively ushered in, and the overall situation was still stable. As of September 27, the average market price of hydrogen peroxide was 1090 yuan / ton, which was about 1% lower than that on September 13.

According to the rise and fall chart of hydrogen peroxide from 2019 to August 2020, it can be seen that the rise of hydrogen peroxide in 2019 is mainly concentrated in the first half of the year, the price of hydrogen peroxide is rising from February to may, and increases sharply in August and October. In 2020, the performance is flat, basically falling, and only in June it rose by more than 30%. 7. Hydrogen peroxide was in decline in August, and the terminal demand turned better in September, and the manufacturers collectively rose sharply. Only then did hydrogen peroxide usher in the rise again.

Hydrogen peroxide analysts in the business club believe that: gold nine has arrived, some hydrogen peroxide manufacturers have to stop for maintenance, supply is tight, and silver 10 is still available.

Factor analysis:

In recent years, ABS upstream styrene, domestic styrene prices have been fluctuating since the beginning of the month. In terms of inventory, it is reported that there is a slight increase in both mainstream and social commodity inventories. However, the recent arrival of styrene in the port is less, and the domestic factory inventory is declining, and the styrene digestion is expected to be better. The recent trend of the far end cost end crude oil is not ideal, coupled with the severe overseas epidemic situation, which continues to restrain the demand expectations, the bulk commodities generally declined. The downstream consumption increased, the demand improved, and there was just a need to support the price of styrene. But the inventory is still at a historical high, there is pressure on the styrene market. The market is expected to remain deadlocked in the short term.

ABS upstream acrylonitrile, the domestic acrylonitrile market was positive last month, and the market continued to be strong this month. Recently, the domestic market is stable and small. On the cost side, the current price is high and stable, with strong support for acrylonitrile. In terms of supply and demand, the operating rate of acrylic fiber industry may be difficult to maintain, and there is a contradiction between supply and demand in the field.

The market went up rapidly, and the downstream demand side took goods on demand. The atmosphere of market prudence gradually rose, and merchants went with the market. It is expected that the domestic butadiene market will be adjusted mainly in the near future.

In late September, the domestic ABS market offers big stable small movements, high finishing. The shortage of domestic ABS spot supply has not improved. As the holidays are approaching, downstream factories are actively hoarding goods. On the contrary, there is a shortage of goods in the theater. Overseas continued to be affected by public health events, crude oil and futures trend is not positive, has a certain suppression effect on ABS market, aggravate the market wait-and-see mentality. Businesses are temporarily stable, due to the replenishment before the festival, the atmosphere of trading has also warmed up.

Cause analysis

The domestic (Shandong) market price of propylene upstream of PP stabilized after rising in mid September. According to the data from the bulk list of business associations, since September 1, the price of propylene has been rising continuously, and the upward range is getting larger and larger. Up to the 4th, the price rose by 300 yuan / ton. From the 7th to the 10th, the first round of downward adjustment occurred, with a total reduction of 100-150 yuan / ton.

At present, the market has been trading at Between 7300 and 7600 yuan / ton, the mainstream price is about 7465.45 yuan / ton. Propylene manufacturers to ship smoothly, low inventory. The crude oil price has risen significantly, the overall industrial chain is better, the profit of downstream products is generally optimistic, the purchasing enthusiasm is good, but the market atmosphere is still lively, but the price is in the top position. Therefore, it is expected that the propylene price will start to stabilize in the later stage, which does not rule out the possibility of a small correction.

The recent high and stable price of upstream propylene has supported the cost side of PP. According to the data monitored by the business agency, the market performance of PP (wire drawing) was adjusted in September, and the spot price had a correction in the near future. In terms of inventory, PP inventory of two barrels of oil and other manufacturers decreased steadily, and the inventory level was in the low range over the years. Since the beginning of the month, the arrival of port cargo has been stable, and there is no obvious pressure on inventory. The near-term trend of far upstream crude oil is not very ideal, forming a certain pressure on chemicals under the industrial chain. At present, the production of PP maintenance equipment is more, and the shutdown situation is less. And some news said that there are also start-up projects, PP supply increase is expected to be negative. At present, although the downstream demand is normal, but the above negative factors still cause businesses to follow suit, and it is expected that PP (wire drawing) market will weaken.

According to the data monitored by the business agency, as of September 24, the mainstream offer price of domestic manufacturers and traders Z30S (fiber) was about 8316.67 yuan / ton. Compared with the average price level at the beginning of the month, there was a 2.89% increase, among which the spot price of fiber materials fluctuated and stabilized in mid September. At present, the production of fiber PP is normal and the downstream demand is acceptable. It is reported that the inventory of fiber materials has decreased steadily, and the consumption in peak season has certain support for the spot price. However, the negative news of crude oil falling and supply increasing restricted the fiber material market. PP (fiber) is expected to be pulled into the finishing market in the near future.

PP meltblown material market weakness continued, domestic PP melt blown material market confidence is insufficient, but the price is close to stable. At present, the epidemic situation in China is generally stable, and the demand for epidemic prevention products is declining. The pattern of market oversupply did not improve, but the price decline of PP meltblown materials narrowed. According to the data monitored by the business agency, the decline of PP (melt blown) has decreased since September. As of September 24, the average price of sample enterprises is about 14500 yuan / ton. This month, the market atmosphere seems to be immersed in last month’s overseas big bill failure. At present, some countries in the world may enter the rebound period of health events again, and the demand is expected to rise. However, the competition among domestic anti epidemic product manufacturers is still strong, and the profits of the main downstream mask factories are seriously diluted. Sinopec’s next sales of meltblown materials and cloth also have an impact on the market. The relationship between the future demand of PP (melt blown) and the profit of manufacturers is complex, and the mentality of merchants is negative. However, the spot price of melt blown PP seems to have fallen to a low profit point, which is expected to stabilize in the near future.

Future forecast

PP business agency analysts believe: mid September domestic PP spot market market callback. Upstream propylene market is strong, there is support for PP cost side. PP (drawing) inventory supply expanded expectations, prices have a certain range of correction. PP (fiber) market temporarily stable, PP (melt blown) demand continued to be weak, the price callback range narrowed. At present, the steady decline of inventory, supply expansion expectations and weak futures and other factors restrict the PP market. The stock situation of downstream factories is fair, the business mentality is general, and the offer follows the market. PP spot prices are expected to weaken in the near future.
