The volatility of PVC market is limited

Yesterday’s domestic PVC market quotation basically unchanged. V1909 futures opened slightly higher, but the pressure above was greater. After touching the 10-day line, it fell back, and empty sheet funds increased warehousing. It closed in a small negative line.

It is expected that the fluctuation range of domestic PVC market today is limited, and the adjustment range is expected to be around 30-50 yuan/ton.

Productive factors: unbalanced distribution of carbide supply, shortage of carbide supply in Shaanxi and Shanxi. Ningxia’s transport inspection is strict, transport trucks affect the export of some calcium carbide, and the purchase price of calcium carbide in Shaanxi area rises again. Since June, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will make a comprehensive arrangement for all hazardous chemical enterprises and chemical parks, and the impact on dangerous chemicals in the later period remains to be seen. The price of external market is at a high level, and Taiwan Plastic PVC has increased its US dollar quotation in July.

Recently, the price of some rare earths has risen, the domestic rare earth market is in general, the price trend of most commodities in the rare earth market has risen, and the import of heavy rare earth dysprosium and terbium products has been limited by Myanmar’s mines. Market participants are more optimistic about the price of medium and heavy rare earths. Holders are reluctant to sell them, and the price of dysprosium and terbium series has continued to rise. Recently, the market trend of praseodymium and neodymium series products has improved, and the supply in the field is normal. Light rare earth prices have recently risen. The price fluctuation of rare earth market is related to environmental protection supervision in the whole country. Rare earth production has its particularity, especially the radiation hazard of some products, which makes environmental protection supervision stricter. Under the strict environmental protection inspection, rare earth separation enterprises in many provinces have stopped production, resulting in a general market of rare earth oxides. Recently, the rare earth market has turned to the seller’s market. The manufacturers have reasonable control over sales and are reluctant to sell. Especially for some mainstream rare earth oxides, the supply performance is tight, the price trend of rare earth market is rising, large enterprise groups are reluctant to sell in the near future, the market of rare earth has improved, but the major manufacturers are cautious about the pricing of products. Recently, rare earth imports have declined, domestic enterprises are reluctant to sell, and some prices in the rare earth market have risen.

Recently, the State Environmental Protection Department has made no reduction in its stringent efforts, which has a greater impact on the rare earth industry. The rare earth industry has a low start-up and a cold market. Prior to this, Anhui Province jointly issued a special action document to crack down on rare earth blacks. Due to the increasingly obvious regulatory effect, the supply of raw mineral resources in the upstream of the rare earth industry has shrunk, and the rare earth industry has been trading well.

Rare earth analysts from business associations expect that the recent stringent domestic environmental protection efforts will not decrease, coupled with the domestic reorganization of the order of the rare earth industry, Myanmar’s export restrictions and reduced supply will provide some favorable support for the rare earth industry, but the recent rare earth market transactions are limited, and rare earth products are expected to rise slightly.

Concern about demand outlook and pressure from inventory growth, crude oil prices closed down

Beijing time, June 11, crude oil futures prices closed lower Monday as investors focused on market concerns about the slowdown in global economic growth and looked for clues about what OPEC and its “allies” would do next about their production cuts. Meanwhile, according to Xinhua News Agency, US President Trump said on the 7th that the United States had reached an agreement with Mexico to impose tariffs on Mexican imports into the United States indefinitely, once supporting oil prices.

Meanwhile, Brent crude oil futures for August delivery on the London ICE European Futures Exchange also fell $1 to close at $62.29 a barrel, a 1.6% drop.

“After Mexico promised the Trump government that it would expand its border projects to slow immigrants’entry into the United States, the United States and Mexico reached an agreement to suspend tariff increases, thus boosting the market.” Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group, said. As a result, global stock markets, including major benchmark U.S. stock indexes, showed an upward trend in Monday trading, but this risk preference did not provide much support for oil prices.

Affected by this, China’s stock market rose sharply. As of the close, the Shanghai index closed at 2852.13 points, up 0.86%, while the Shenzhen index closed at 8711.79 points, up 1.48%.

“Last weekend, the Saudi Arabian government hinted in a statement that OPEC and its partners were about to reach an agreement to extend the existing reduction agreement beyond June. At the same time, the statement also mentioned the need to maintain the current level of production reduction. Analysts at JBC Energy, a Vienna-based energy consultancy, wrote in a research report. The report also points out that the decline in the number of crude oil drilling platforms in the United States has also supported oil prices.

Baker Hughes, a field service provider, reported on Friday that the number of crude oil drillings in the United States dropped 11 to 789 this week, the biggest one-week decline since the week ended April 26. The report also points out that the number of crude oil drillings in the United States has declined in four weeks, the lowest level since February 2018. The data from Beckhughes can provide clues to future U.S. crude oil production. The decline in the number of drilling platforms means that production may decline, which is usually a positive factor for oil prices.

Whether OPEC Member States and non-OPEC oil-producing countries such as Russia will extend the cut-off agreement remains unclear. Alexander Novak, Russia’s energy minister, said Monday that he could not rule out the possibility of oil falling to $30 a barrel if the cut-off agreement was not extended, Reuters reported.

According to a S&P Global Platts survey, OPEC member countries produced 30.9 million barrels a day in May, the lowest level since February 2015 (before Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Congo joined OPEC). At that time, Qatar was still a member of the organization. According to the survey, Saudi Arabia’s daily production dropped to 9.7 million barrels per day, the lowest level since January 2015, while Iraq’s production climbed to an all-time high of 4.82 million barrels per day.
