Industry News
◎ judging from the US economic data, crude oil prices rose and fell
Recently, the US dollar index has weakened, reaching 96.09 on December 27, down 0.50% from December 17. The decline of the dollar mainly stems from: on December 20, Goldman Sachs Group lowered its forecast for U.S. economic growth because Democratic Senator manqin said he would not support the core content of President Biden’s economic agenda, that is, the $2 trillion tax and expenditure plan. Manchin’s statement actually killed the Democratic Party’s plan to pass the bill called build back better. Economists at Goldman Sachs said that if the bill could not be passed, it would have a negative impact on U.S. economic growth and would make the U.S. economy face the dilemma of slowing down in 2022. The weakening dollar supported the rise of crude oil prices to a certain extent.
◎ domestic LNG price in terms of apparent consumption
Affected by the epidemic situation, the comprehensive statistics of domestic apparent natural gas consumption from January to February 2020 is 52.7 billion cubic meters. Without splitting, the annual apparent natural gas consumption in 2020 is 320.38 billion cubic meters. Except for the epidemic situation at the beginning of the year and the Spring Festival factors, it is relatively stable throughout the year and increases in the heating season. There will be great changes in 2021. Although the overall consumption increases greatly, the consumption growth rate is unstable. As of October 2021, the apparent consumption of domestic natural gas totaled 302.893 billion cubic meters, an increase of 24.51% over the same period last year. And this year, the apparent consumption in October near the heating season decreased by 2.34% compared with September. The reason is that under the demand expectation and supply guarantee requirements of this year’s heating season, the domestic natural gas reserve work is carried out in advance, and the overall reserve is relatively sufficient. With the promotion of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, the strengthening of environmental protection work by local governments greatly limits the industrial demand, so the demand shrinks near the heating season.
◎ needle coke market summary in November
In November 2021, the import volume of needle coke was 20900 tons, an increase of 11% month on month. Among them, oil measures are 8700 tons, accounting for 41.6%, and coal measures are 12200 tons, accounting for 58.4%. From January to November 2021, the cumulative import volume of needle coke is about 205400 tons, and the oil series is 97500 tons, accounting for 47%. Coal measures account for 10.79%, accounting for 52%
◎ liquefied gas: the market rebounded at a low level after ether appeared on the positive support of supply and demand
The supply of some oil producing countries has decreased and the market demand prospect has been better supported. The international crude oil trend is strong, which has obvious positive support for the relevant industrial chains in the region. However, as the end of the year is approaching, there is a certain demand for inventory discharge by enterprises, and the market atmosphere tends to be conservative. It is expected that the market will maintain stability in the short term, and the power for both rise and fall is insufficient. After the year or due to the centralized replenishment of downstream goods, The market has a “good start” again, but under the influence of policy, there is uncertainty. Follow up, pay close attention to the startup and shutdown of upstream and downstream devices.
◎ game between cost and demand, stalemate in polyester filament Market
With strong cost support and weak demand as a foregone conclusion, polyester filament needs to pay more attention to its own fundamental data. As we all know, the load of direct spinning factories in the Spring Festival is higher than that of looms, so the inventory of polyester filament factories from January to February is expected. According to the market understanding, the inventory of some polyester filament factories has been at a high level. Near the Spring Festival, the factory or machine price exchange is not ruled out. At this time, polyester filament is in a shock downward trend in the game of cost and demand, or dragged down by demand.
◎ the supply of polyester bottles and chips is reduced, and the spot in the market is still tight
From the order receiving situation of polyester bottle chip manufacturers, the order receiving amount of the factory has decreased recently. Since mid September, due to the influence of dual control, some production enterprises have limited operation and reduced supply, and the spot circulation of polyester bottles and chips shows signs of tightening. In addition, the increase in foreign trade shipments has exacerbated the tense atmosphere of spot circulation. The large downstream soft drink manufacturers will advance the procurement cycle and the centralized purchase time to November. In the fourth quarter, according to the past performance, the demand is off-season, and the bottle chip factory is overhauled during this period. However, this year is different from previous years. The off-season is “not light”, and the demand side makes collective efforts. As a result, the polyester bottle chip factory has no spot to sell and can only sell far month futures. Last weekend, a 600000 ton unit of a large factory in East China was overhauled as planned, the supply was further reduced, and the price of polyester bottles and chips rose steadily.

Latest Trend of Product Price Change
The Price of Blowing Agent Rose and the Price of n-Heptane fell
Solvent Market Focus
From December 18 to December 25, the price of blowing agent continued to rise twice, the highest point was on December 20, with an increase of 1.32 percentage points, and the second price increase was on December 24, with an increase of 0.85 percentage points. The main reason for the continuous rise in the price of Pentane foaming agent is that the profit is meager, the price of raw materials is rising, and the manufacturers are under too much pressure. In view of the above reasons, it is expected that the price of blowing agent will continue to rise in the next few weeks.
The price of n-Heptane continued to fall this week, falling by 1.28 percentage points on December 29, and fell again on December 22, down by 1.57 percentage points. The reason for this price decline is that the manufacturer is to clear inventory. On the other hand, it is because of strong market demand, especially in the Indian market.
