Upstream market of industrial chain

From the phthalic anhydride trend chart can be seen, DOP raw material phthalic anhydride prices fell first and then rose, phthalic anhydride market volatility adjustment, the overall phthalic anhydride market remained stable.

As can be seen from the octanol price trend chart, the octanol market rose this week, up 3.45%, DOP cost rose, DOP has a certain upward support.

Downstream market of industrial chain

Market review and future expectation

Bai Jiaxin, an analyst of DOP data from the business agency, believes that DOP raw material prices rose this week, which supported the rise of DOP. At the same time, the downstream PVC market rebounded and rose, DOP demand recovered, DOP rising momentum increased, and plasticizer prices rose in shock. Overall, the future DOP market is good, and it is expected that DOP will rise in the future.

Price trend:

According to the business agency data monitoring, this week, the o-benzene contract quotation is stable. As of September 21, Sinopec has offered 4400.00 yuan / ton of o-xylene in East China and 4400 yuan / ton in North China, which is stable compared with the beginning of the week, and the market of o-xylene is temporarily stable.

Upstream market of o-benzene

It can be seen from the mixed xylene price trend chart that the mixed xylene price of o-xylene raw material decreased slightly this week, and the cost of o-xylene decreased, which was negative for the o-xylene market.

From the WTI crude oil price trend chart, we can see that the crude oil market rose sharply this week, up more than 10%. The price of crude oil is rising, the cost pressure of downstream industrial chain is increasing, the market of downstream industry chain is good, and the market of o-benzene is good.

Trend of downstream products

As can be seen from the phthalic anhydride price trend chart, the phthalic anhydride market fell slightly this week, the phthalic anhydride price was basically stable, and the adverse effect on the o-benzene market was limited, and the demand for o-benzene was not enough to support the rebound of the price of phthalic anhydride.

Future forecast:

Bai Jiaxin, an o-xylene data analyst at the business club, believes that the sharp rise in crude oil prices last week has a positive impact on the downstream industrial chain and is conducive to the recovery and rise of o-benzene price. However, the downstream demand for o-benzene is insufficient, and the price rise of mixed xylene in the upstream is relatively small. Although there is a certain upward momentum for o-xylene, it is difficult to support the price adjustment of o-benzene, and the overall future market of o-benzene is stable.

Price trend

According to the business agency data monitoring, acetic anhydride market bottomed out this week, and the price of acetic anhydride rose. As of September 21, the average price of acetic anhydride was 5600.00 yuan / ton, up 2.05% compared with 5487.50 yuan / ton at the beginning of the week, and 7.08% lower than that of the same period last year.

Acetic acid price trend

From the acetic acid price trend chart can be seen, this week acetic acid price shock rise, acetic anhydride cost rise, acetic anhydride market is good.

Methanol price trend

As can be seen from the methanol price trend chart, the methanol market rose first and then fell this week, the methanol price was adjusted by shock, and the acetic anhydride cost was adjusted by vibration, and the market of acetic anhydride was limited.

Market review and future forecast

According to Bai Jiaxin, an analyst of acetic anhydride data from the business agency, this week’s rise in raw material prices of acetic anhydride is favorable to the market of acetic anhydride, but the overall cost rise of acetic anhydride is limited, which is beneficial to the market of acetic anhydride. On the downstream side, the downstream customers of acetic anhydride purchased actively, the inventory of acetic anhydride enterprises was insufficient, the start-up of acetic anhydride enterprises was limited, and the pressure of acetic anhydride rise was great. Generally speaking, the supply of acetic anhydride enterprises was in short supply, and the market of acetic anhydride in the future market was more powerful.

In recent years, the start-up of terminal weaving shows a slight growth trend. The comprehensive starting rate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang looms is above 74%, but compared with previous years, it is still in a low load, so it is still necessary to continue to take delivery of goods, and the actual transaction needs to be discussed in detail with the manufacturer.

Business agency analysts believe that the recent price rise of spandex, but the rise is relatively cautious, manufacturers to maintain stable supply, individual supply slightly tense. From the raw material market trend, pure MDI and PTMEG high shock, cost side is good, support is not reduced. The purchasing atmosphere of downstream terminal customers is general, and the overall market atmosphere is strong. Overall, it is expected that the market price of spandex will remain volatile in the short term, with a small range and strong trend.
