The market situation of liquid chlorine in Shandong is stable, with a relatively flat trading atmosphere and average shipments.
In terms of demand, the refrigerant market has entered the end of annual production, and due to the quota system, enterprise inventory is significantly insufficient. R32 products are mainly sold to air conditioning enterprises, with prices gradually rising to 42000 yuan/ton. The national subsidy policy is significant, and the demand for household appliances is performing well, making the market easy to rise but difficult to fall. Other applications should maintain a strong demand for purchasing and restock at low prices.
Business analysts believe that the raw material support is stable, while the supply side inventory is increasing. As the end of the year approaches, the demand side expects low-priced stocking, and it is expected that the dichloromethane market will operate weakly and steadily in the short term.
