The downstream purchase is mainly based on demand, and the export of Myanmar is prohibited. It is expected that the domestic rare earth market will continue to decline in the later period.

On August 10, the mainstream price of domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid manufacturers was 10100-10500 yuan / ton. The ex factory price trend of the on-site merchants was temporarily stable. The operating rate of domestic hydrofluoric acid manufacturers increased, and the on-site supply was sufficient. Recently, the fluorite price was slightly higher, but the downstream refrigerant market remained low, and the on-site procurement was not active. From a comprehensive perspective, it is expected that the on-site hydrofluoric acid price trend in the later period will remain temporarily stable.

The international oil price fluctuates widely, and the supply side is abundant. The quotation market for equipment maintenance of production enterprises has not seen obvious effect. After the commencement of the equipment, the external quotation is reduced by about 50 yuan / ton. At the same time, the demand side pays less, and the unit operating rate of downstream enterprises is generally low.

In the short term, the domestic methanol market is still likely to decline.

Futures market situation this week

Variety, closing price, compared with the same period last week, inventory (tons)

Shanghai tin, 198000 yuan / ton, + 3060 yuan / ton, 3557

Lunxi, 24335 US dollars / ton, – 565 US dollars / ton, 4015

In the futures market, this week, Lunxi maintained a wide range of volatility, while the trend of Shanghai and tin fluctuated at a high level. On the macro level, at the beginning of last week, the geopolitical situation was tense, the risk aversion psychology was strong, and the metal market was generally under pressure. On Friday, the metal market mentality was boosted by the fall of the US dollar index. The metal market as a whole rose, and Shanghai and tin followed the recovery.

With the gradual recovery of the maintenance of domestic smelters, the supply of tin has been gradually relaxed in the near future, while the downstream demand has not changed much in the near future. The overall start-up of tin and solder enterprises is still low and the orders are small. In terms of inventory, the social inventory was reduced slightly this week, and the overall inventory level was higher than that of the same period last year. Generally speaking, the market expects tin production to rise in August, and the main production areas such as Yunnan and Jiangxi will gradually resume production, and the supply is expected to increase. The downstream demand is weak, and the tin price is difficult to be supported. It is expected that the rising power of the tin price is insufficient, and it is expected that the tin price will be under pressure in the future.

According to the data monitoring of the business agency, the domestic price of LLDPE (7042) was 8125.71 yuan / ton on August 1, and the average price was 8097.14 yuan / ton on August 5. The decline rate in the week was 0.35%, down 6.75% compared with July 1.

According to the data monitoring of business agency, the average ex factory price of LDPE (2426h) on August 1 was 10050.00 yuan / ton, and the average price on August 5 was 10116.67 yuan / ton, with an increase of 0.66% in the week and a decrease of 7.47% compared with July 1.

According to the data monitoring of business agency, the average ex factory price of HDPE (5000S) was 8750 yuan / ton on August 1 and 8750 yuan / ton on August 5. The price remained stable during the week, down 7.08% compared with July 1.

In the first week of August, the domestic polyethylene market remained stable on the whole, and the three spot varieties fluctuated in a narrow range, rising and falling, with a range of 50-250 yuan / ton. LLDPE decreased slightly, LDPE increased slightly and HDPE remained stable. During the week, the international crude oil market was mainly downward, and the cost brought insufficient support to the market. At present, the market supply is relatively sufficient, but the demand is weak. The downstream is mainly based on demand purchase, and the market transaction is limited. During the week, the number of maintenance devices increased and the supply decreased slightly, which brought relative benefits to the market.

On August 5, the opening price of polyethylene futures 2209 was 7842, the highest price was 7863, the lowest price was 7748, the closing price was 7787, the previous settlement price was 7939, the settlement price was 7808, and the decrease was 152. The trading volume was 354585, the holding volume was 276140, and the daily increase was – 1956. (quotation unit: yuan / ton)

At present, the international crude oil market is weak, and the cost is not good enough. In the later stage, the market supply is expected to increase, and there is no obvious improvement in the downstream demand in the short term. The downstream mainly focuses on just needed procurement, and the market benefits are limited. It is expected that there will still be resistance to the upward trend of the PE spot market in the short term.
