Spot: According to the monitoring data of the business agency, the market price of solid (industrial grade, content ≥ 28%) polyaluminum chloride in China fell sharply in February, with a monthly decline of about 2.22%: the market price was 1968.75 yuan/ton on the 1st and 1925 yuan/ton on the 28th. At present, the water treatment enterprises in China’s main production areas have sufficient inventory, the demand for downstream purchase orders is weak, and the domestic polyaluminum chloride support is insufficient, and the market price is mainly downward.

 

Raw hydrochloric acid: According to the monitoring data of the Business Agency, the domestic market price of hydrochloric acid rose slightly this month. The price of hydrochloric acid rose from 154.00 yuan/ton on February 1 to 166.00 yuan/ton on February 28, up 7.79%. The price at the end of the month fell 37.59% year-on-year. In general, the domestic hydrochloric acid market rose slightly this month, the upstream liquid chlorine market rose sharply, the cost support was good, and the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream ammonium chloride and polyaluminum chloride was general. According to the analysis, the recent market of hydrochloric acid may rise slightly.

 

Liquefied natural gas for production. According to the data of the Business News Agency, the domestic liquefied natural gas (LNG) fell first and then rose in February: from 6060 yuan/ton on February 1 to 6082 yuan/ton on February 28, with a monthly decrease of 0.13%; Among them, the highest price of the stage is 6090 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month, and the lowest price of the stage is 5724 yuan/ton on the 10th or so, with the monthly maximum amplitude of 6.01%. As the weather warms, demand decreases, market support weakens, and the market is temporarily negative, it is expected that the domestic LNG price will continue to decline in the short term.

 

Aftermarket forecast: the raw material market is stable and slightly upward, but due to the continued weakness of downstream demand and the sufficient inventory of manufacturers from the year before, the supply is more than the demand is less, and the market support is unfavorable. It is expected that the market of polyaluminum chloride will continue to be weak in the near future.
