After the Spring Festival holiday, ammonia market gradually back on track, and the overall market continued before the Spring Festival market, not because of high speed during the Spring Festival holiday of the hazardous goods traffic restrictions and other factors weakened, but the price is ammonia local rose 50-80 yuan / ton, the amplitude is obvious, and the supply is still relatively tight; such as Hebei Shijiazhuang mainstream transaction reference price ex factory acceptance of liquid ammonia to 2600 yuan / ton, Shandong Lubei area spot transaction reference price ex factory ammonia to 2670-2760 yuan / ton, Jiangsu mainstream acceptance transaction factory reference price of about 2850-2880 yuan / ton, the northeast region of Dalian ammonia spot mainstream factory price rose to 3000 yuan / ton. The transaction can talk, the primary pre orders in advance, other regions also rose to varying degrees.
Summarize the reasons for this wave of liquid ammonia prices, can be attributed to two aspects:
One is the liquid ammonia industry operating rate is low. During the Spring Festival, most of the ammonia enterprises underemployment, on the one hand is the manufacturer to reduce the delivery pressure, take the initiative to reduce production load, will produce the focus placed on the urea market; on the other hand is part of the business plan in liquid ammonia maintenance or temporary equipment fault, and so far has yet to resume production, two factors make tight supply on the market of liquid ammonia prices rise even.
Two is the need to start the support. With the spring fertilizer market demand have started, urea demand gradually increased, recently enterprises operating rate will rise to urea, while the downstream repair compound fertilizer production will gradually recover, including local area such as Inner Mongolia, Liaoning area of the new production projects have been shipped to normal, the increased demand for liquid ammonia.
See from the above chart, compared with previous years, the occasion of the Spring Festival market this year, ammonia market performance is good may be quite different, although the same period, by the holiday high speed for HazardousChemicals limit of the vehicle transport, factory shipments under pressure, but after the Spring Festival this year the market is liquid tight supply, prices rise, the the manufacturers are still immersed in the price of the atmosphere, the trend of ammonia but still want to remind manufacturers next to.
First look at coal, according to the current coal market no fluctuation of price stability, the downstream market temporarily affected by the Spring Festival of coal mainly wait-and-see, short-term purchases should be no significant increase, ammonia Market boost effect is not obvious; secondly, with gradually starting in the spring of market demand, the demand of urea will increase the operating rate will the price increase, exploration rose slightly, while compound fertilizer enterprises operating rate will also rise, increasing demand for both ammonia will become almost in the environmental inspection, under normal circumstances, enterprises especially the production of liquid ammonia device of some small plants may be good and bad, accompanied by the demand for downstream enterprises will be much less, good bad coexist; finally, methanol market high stability maintenance operation, mainly in the short term continue to fluctuate slightly, Due to the influence of the market of liquid ammonia or not. Overall, ammonia prices continue to remain high, local prices may fluctuate slightly.
