Forecast: supply is expected to increase and MEG fluctuates at a low level.

Trade name: sulfur

Latest price (November 17): 2103.33 yuan / ton

Key points of analysis: according to the price monitoring of business society, the price trend of sulfur in East China is stable today, and the quotation of domestic refineries is flat compared with that of the previous working day. At present, the inventory of refineries in China remains low, the downstream procurement is mainly on demand, the enterprise shipment is smooth, the low price of the port is difficult to find, which gives a certain support to the sulfur market in the field, and the sulfur price is high. However, the downstream winter fertilizer storage has not yet started, the market demand is weak, and the end consumption does not support enough sulfur. The industry holds a wait-and-see attitude towards the future market.

Future forecast: the short-term sulfur market is temporarily stable and wait-and-see.

1、 Trend analysis

As shown in the figure above, copper prices rose slightly on the 16th, with the spot price of 71828.33 yuan / ton, up 0.41% from the previous day. The main Asian market of Shanghai copper weakened, opening at 70910 yuan in the morning, and finally the price weakened, reaching a minimum of 70210 yuan and closing at 70360 yuan.

Copper supply and demand are both weak, low inventory supports copper price, copper fundamentals are good, and there is support below in the short term. However, at present, the short trend of industrial products is maintained, the market sentiment is pessimistic, and the weak total demand suppresses the price. After the weakening of power rationing, the operating rate rebounded slightly, but the poor production and sales of real estate affected the overall demand. It is expected that the short-term copper price is still dominated by shock and fluctuation.
