According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of the Business Society, the market for polyaluminum chloride remained stable in early August, with the main market price for solid (industrial grade, content ≥ 28%) polyaluminum chloride in China reporting around 1718 yuan/ton. The production of water treatment enterprises in China’s main production areas is normal, with sufficient market inventory. Downstream procurement is based on demand, and in addition, weather disasters in the early days have affected the circulation of the industrial chain, making it difficult to make actual transactions; The price of raw material hydrochloric acid has changed relatively little this month, while the market for polyaluminum chloride has remained relatively unchanged.
Raw material hydrochloric acid: According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Business Society, the domestic hydrochloric acid market price remained stable and slightly increased in early August, with prices ranging from 173-174 yuan/ton. The upstream liquid chlorine market has recently seen a slight increase, with good cost support; Domestic hydrochloric acid manufacturers have average inventory; The downstream ammonium chloride market price has significantly increased, providing some support for the hydrochloric acid market., Increased willingness to purchase downstream. Analysts from Business Society believe that the recent slight fluctuations and gains in the hydrochloric acid market are the main trend.
Liquefied natural gas for production. According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of the Business Society, in early August, the domestic liquefied natural gas prices first fell and then rose, showing a “V” shaped trend: on August 1st, the average price of liquefied natural gas in China was 3630 yuan/ton, slightly dropping to 3594 yuan/ton on the 4th, and then rising again to around 3634 yuan/ton. The overall upward trend this week was only 0.11%. Affected by the reduction of raw gas auction price, the cost end support weakened at the beginning of the month and the market supply exceeded demand. Due to the impact of rainstorm, the transportation in some areas was not smooth, and there were many negative factors in the market, so the price fell slightly; Afterwards, the price of raw gas slightly increased, and some liquid factories in certain regions underwent maintenance. Downstream restocking willingness increased, resulting in a slight increase in liquid prices. It is expected that in the short term, the domestic liquefied natural gas prices will fluctuate and operate in a narrow range.
Future forecast: In early August, there will be little change in raw material prices, and the impact of the fuel liquefied natural gas market will also be small. The cost of polymeric aluminum chloride will also have a small change. On the supply side, China’s polyaluminum chloride manufacturers produce normally and have sufficient inventory; However, there has been no significant improvement on the demand side and the delivery process has slowed down. Analysis suggests that the market outlook for polyaluminum chloride will remain stable with minor fluctuations as a supplement.
