Throughout April, most of the region's manufacturers of liquid ammonia can be described as is earn basin full earthen bowl is full, such as according to a handful of Companies in Shanxi area of said liquid ammonia production costs 1300 yuan (ton price, the same below) about, and in April and ammonia in the basic price 1950 Yuan wandering, clear profit, most other regions is also the case, however manufacturer to indulge in the happy unconsciously, liquid ammonia good market changes, entered in May, ammonia prices not only fell sharply and for downstream were not Huanguo to God. Such as North China, East China, central China, most major producing regions of liquid ammonia prices fell by around 100 yuan, as of the current prices are still in the fall, shipping is also poor, now nationwide ammonia spot mainstream factory price 1800-2400 yuan, clinch a deal had to discuss the space, the market of liquid ammonia completely began to seek the bottom trip.
First look at the market in different regions of the difference of liquid ammonia. North China market prices of liquid ammonia is first began to fall, Hebei area ammonia acceptance mainstream factory price 1960-1990 yuan, individual high-end 2020 yuan, transactions are low 50 yuan; Shanxi area of liquid ammonia cash mainstream factory price 1850-1950 yuan, part of the single turnover can be as low as $50. East China market, the price is also lower, because some manufacturers put the amount of ammonia added, prices have fallen sharply, Shandong area of liquid ammonia cash mainstream factory price 2050-2150 yuan; Jiangsu Province liquid cash mainstream factory price 2100-2250 yuan, high-end price clinch a deal is still slightly to talk about; liquid ammonia in Anhui area acceptance mainstream transaction factory 2070-2090 yuan, cash in Anqing area turnover factory reference price 2180 yuan. The central market of liquid ammonia prices 100-150 yuan about, Henan area ammonia acceptance mainstream factory price 2030-2100 yuan, clinch a deal can be low 20-50 yuan, Hubei, a giant liquid ammonia plant recovery, local liquid ammonia supply increased to about 400 tons, acceptance of mainstream transaction factory reference price of 22.5 yuan.
Secondly, in such a weak market, what are the factors about ammonia price? On the one hand, the recent market downturn urea, urea, a few manufacturers fed downstream marketing agricultural need is extremely light, and with the mining, one or two dealers don't buy Urea, but in the sale of profit sources, undoubtedly reduced or even money, which leads to the enhancement of the urea market wait-and-see attitude, manufacturers of urea it is difficult to control, the price steady downward into the mainstream, even some support in the late summer dressing, but the effect should be slow, and the start time of the basic to the end of 5 to early 6, so the short-term market may also not have what improvement, in the comprehensive profits, some manufacturers may reduce urea enterprises operating rate but, to production of liquid ammonia, such as a urea enterprises of East China, Chongqing and other regions will be transferred to the liquid ammonia, and strive for profit maximization of profit, At present, the overall operating rate of urea enterprises is only about 68.6%. On the other hand, compound fertilizer, the off-season struck, current compound fertilizer market is fatigued and weak, most of the area playing the price war, promising high nitrogen fertilizer market, there have been bad, such as manufacturers generally will be introduced some preferential policies, the pressure of environmental protection, fertilizer season end, although compound fertilizer industry operating rate of 58.6% or so, but the local market is less than 3%, so the material liquid ammonia procurement to substantially reduce the amount of, resulting in liquid ammonia manufacturers take the difficulty of goods, inventory pressure, prices will have to come down.
Finally look at the latter part of the trend, the liquid ammonia Market bad factors dominate, favorable factors shortage, relying on the lower reaches of the chemical enterprise some support and chemical fertilizer enterprises slow boost, pressure on prices rebound larger, so ammonia bottoming trip may have a long journey.
