Pesticide market will continue to be high

1 market monitoring

This week (August 21, 2018, the same week below) the raw and intermediate market continued off-season market, safety and environmental inspection, chemical parks and enterprises shut down high temperature overhaul or load reduction operation, low start-up rate situation remained unchanged. The overall market is running at a high level, the upstream is reluctant to sell, and the downstream enquiries are insipid. The high cost value chain of industrial chain is carried out from top to bottom. The scheme of staggered peak stopping and production restriction in heating season has been gradually put to the ground. All parties concerned about the start-up, supply and market changes brought about by the policy.

This week, the crude oil market continued to adjust high and narrow shocks, bringing cost support to basic chemical raw materials, the performance of each sector within the week is different. Chlor-alkali chemical industry slightly up; phosphorus chemical industry downstream demand is weak, the overall weak consolidation; bromide smooth operation, good shipment; fluorine chemical industry slightly up, demand support. Limited downstream chemical sub industries start up rate to reduce the impact of weak demand, the overall narrow shock consolidation.
