Other enterprises: Jingbo Petrochemical quote 9350 yuan / ton, HSBC Petrochemical quote 9300 yuan / ton, Weilian chemical quote 9353 yuan / ton, Xinhai Petrochemical quote 9400 yuan / ton, Hongrun Petrochemical quote 9450 yuan / ton.

 

Crude oil: on June 29, the price of international crude oil futures fell. The settlement price of the main contract of WTI crude oil futures in the United States was $109.78 / barrel, down $1.98 or 1.8%; The settlement price of the main contract of Brent crude oil futures was $112.45 / barrel, down $1.35 or 1.2%. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) data was negative, and the inventory of refined oil products increased; And market concerns about the risk of a global recession weighed on oil prices.

 

In the first half of this month, the trend of crude oil rose as a whole. After the price fell in the second half of this month, the price rebounded slightly at the end of the month again. The trend of pure benzene basically followed the fluctuation of crude oil. In the first half of this month, supported by the upward trend of crude oil and the rising price of pure benzene, Sinopec continuously raised the ex factory price of pure benzene, boosting market confidence, local refining enterprises followed suit, and the price of pure benzene went all the way. After entering the latter ten days, crude oil and pure benzene in the outer market fell broadly, with bad fundamentals and declining support for the industrial chain. Sinopec lowered the ex factory price of pure benzene to 9600 yuan / ton for two consecutive times, and local refining enterprises also lowered the price of pure benzene one after another. At the same time, the inventory of pure benzene in East China began to increase, and there was still a plan to accumulate inventory in the follow-up. Under the influence of multiple bad news, the price of pure benzene market continued to decline, while the downstream styrene also continued to weaken, the overall performance of the market mentality was poor, and the overall decline of the industrial chain was obvious. Near the end of the month, there is a certain demand for replenishment in the lower reaches, adding to the slight rise in crude oil and outer disk pure benzene at the end of the month. As of the press release, the mainstream price of domestic pure benzene is 9300-9600 yuan / ton.

 

Melamine

In terms of commencement: the overall commencement of coking enterprises in the first half of this month was relatively high. With the two rounds of increase in coke prices, enterprises started actively, and the tar supply was stable. In the middle and late ten days of the month, the coke was dragged down by downstream demand, and the first round of increase and decrease of 300 yuan / ton was started. After reversing the previous increase, the profit of coking enterprises was damaged, and the operating rate fell significantly as a whole. Many enterprises took the initiative to limit production, and the output of related by-products decreased accordingly.

 

Crude benzene was significantly affected by the industrial chain this month. As of the end of the month, the price of pure benzene and crude oil rebounded slightly. The price of pure benzene was still at a high position, and the supply side expected a certain decline in the follow-up. The construction of downstream benzene hydrogenation enterprises was relatively stable recently. Although the price fell recently, the overall price was still at a high level, the enthusiasm of enterprises to start construction was acceptable, and the demand for crude benzene remained, In the situation of slightly tight supply, it is expected that the subsequent high price oscillation of crude benzene will be dominant, but considering the downstream profits, there may be some room for downward adjustment.

At the beginning of the month, the domestic methanol market rose first and then stabilized, with narrow fluctuations. The continuous high price of raw coal has led to a good atmosphere in the whole industrial chain. At the same time, the high volatility of the crude oil market has also led to the rise of the chemical market on the macro level. However, after the lower receiving price rose slightly, the rising oil price led to a shortage of return transport capacity, and there is still room for freight to rise. The demand side performance was average, and the methanol spot turned to be stable and wait-and-see in the middle and late weeks of the week.

 

In the middle of May, the domestic methanol market fluctuated in a narrow range, and the price was relatively higher, rising first and then falling, mainly because the market demand improved and the receiving price rose. However, after the methanol futures fell in the middle of the week, the trading atmosphere became weaker, and the atmosphere of the domestic methanol spot market was light, and the price fell slightly.

 

In late June, the domestic methanol market fell in a narrow range. The raw coal market dragged down the atmosphere of methanol futures, and the spot market fell in a narrow range. On the supply side, the production enterprises in the main production areas have been overhauled, showing some positive results, but the market sentiment is poor. The pick-up volume of the social warehouse is still low, and the inventory continues to accumulate.

 

The price of products in the methanol industry chain is mixed, and the price of natural gas in the upstream product of methanol is stable; The price of Zhonghua East glacial acetic acid, a downstream product, fell the most; Among related products, the price of urea in Shandong fell the most.

Loose supply, weak demand, weak copper price in June

Trend analysis

 

Benzalkonium chloride

According to the monitoring data of the business community, the copper price fell sharply in June. At the beginning of the month, the copper price was 72236.67 yuan / ton, and at the end of the month, the copper price fell to 64211.67 yuan / ton, an overall decline of 11.11% and a year-on-year decrease of 5.98%.

 

According to the current chart of the business community, in June, the spot price of copper was mostly higher than the futures price, and the main contract was the expected price in two months. The main basis became larger, which was bad for buying hedging.

 

According to the LME inventory, the LME copper inventory in June was lower than that in May, at a relatively high level for 1-4 months, and there was a base at the end of the month.

 

Macro aspect: in June, the Federal Reserve of the United States (fed/ fed) took historic measures to combat inflation, raising interest rates by 75 basis points. The initial value of manufacturing PMI in Europe and the United States fell in June than expected, indicating that the demand for industrial products shrank significantly in June, intensifying the market’s concern about the economic downturn. The “copper oil ratio” has continued to decline and has fallen to a low in recent five years, indicating that the risk of economic recession has intensified. On the whole, under the conditions of tight liquidity and continuous fermentation of economic recession concerns, the nonferrous metals sector has fallen sharply and the copper price has also dropped sharply.

 

Sodium Molybdate

Supply: globally, the global refined copper output recovered rapidly after the outbreak. According to the data released by ICSG, in the first quarter of 2022, the global refined copper output increased by 2.7% year-on-year, reaching 6.286 million tons, a record. ICSG also predicted that the year-on-year growth rate of global refined copper production in 2022 and 2023 would reach 4.3% and 3.6% respectively. China has a large copper smelting capacity. It is estimated that the crude refining capacity will reach 9.7 million tons and the refining capacity will reach 14.55 million tons in 2022. In terms of refined copper output, from January to may 2022, due to refinery maintenance, cathode copper output was almost the same as that of the same period last year.

 

Demand: from the perspective of the pace of resumption of work and production, the downstream demand has not given better feedback. The downstream operation of some copper is still lower than that of the same period last year, indicating that the market confidence is still insufficient. In addition to the increase in copper consumption brought about by new energy vehicles and photovoltaic power generation, copper consumption in traditional power grids, home appliances such as air conditioners, traditional automobiles, construction (including real estate and infrastructure), light industry, electronic communications and other industries decreased.

 

Based on the above, in June, copper prices fell sharply under the conditions of loose copper supply and weak consumption. In the second half of the year, as the new overseas copper mines are put into operation or reach production capacity, the supply of copper mines will continue to rise in the second half of the year. In addition to the Fed’s interest rate hike, the eurozone, the UK and a number of emerging economies are raising interest rates, which means that global liquidity is shrinking, the economy is slowing down and copper consumption demand is weakening, which is a high probability event. It is expected that the copper price in the second half of the year will continue to fluctuate weakly.

The international crude oil price fell, the market returned to fundamentals, and the crude oil supply price was tightly supported. However, affected by the expectation of interest rate hikes by many central banks across the country, the market was worried about the economic recession, and the oil price was still fluctuating in the range. The US inflation in May exceeded expectations. The CPI soared to 8.6% year-on-year. The US Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike of 75 basis points also set a record. The fear of further increasing the risk of global economic recession, coupled with the uncertainty of the epidemic, has led to major changes in market expectations. The dollar rose again, risky assets were sold off again, and the stock market, bulk commodities and other fields fell on a large scale. Crude oil bears the brunt. It is already at a relatively high level in history. Under the condition that the tight supply situation has not changed, the panic has dealt a heavy blow to the oil price.
