    Recently, some chemical raw materials have increased in varying degrees
    .

    Therefore, companies in the industry chain need not panic too much about power cuts
    .
    In the later period, more attention will be paid to the production reduction of upstream enterprises due to efficiency problems, and the impact of downstream production reduction due to order problems on the industrial chain
    .

    The current price of isobutyraldehyde is 7366.
    67 yuan / ton, down 6833.
    33 yuan / ton from the price at the beginning of the year, a decrease of 48.
    12%
    .
    This round of sharp decline was mainly caused by the cold downstream and terminal demand.
    Its main downstream neopentyl glycol entered the off-season due to terminal demand and was under the dual pressure of production and sales, and the demand for isobutyraldehyde fell significantly
    .
    Another major downstream alcohol ester is not optimistic, and the industry operating rate has fallen below 60%
    .
    The terminal coating industry has entered the off-season due to the hot weather, and the purchasing enthusiasm has weakened
    .
    Under the pressure of high cost and low demand, isobutyraldehyde has basically fallen below the cost line
    .
    The current price of propylene oxide is 10366.
    67 yuan / ton, down 8533.
    33 yuan / ton compared with the price at the beginning of the year, a decrease of 45.
    15%
    .
    The downstream propylene glycol decreased by 5.
    62% in the month, the purchasing enthusiasm weakened, the market sentiment turned weak, and the market stalemate was weak
    .
    There is insufficient support on the cost side, the supply side has accumulated a small amount of stockpiles, and the demand side is cautiously reducing the amount to follow up.
    It is expected that in the short term, the propylene oxide market may run weakly
    .
    The current price of n-propanol is 8300 yuan / ton, which is 3500 yuan / ton lower than the price at the beginning of the year, a decrease of 29.
    66%
    .
    The overall domestic n-propanol market showed a weak downward trend.
    The ex-factory prices of n-propanol in Shandong major factories were successively lowered, and the downstream demand performance was average.
    The trading atmosphere in the market was cold, and the price of n-propanol continued to decline
    .
    The current price of neopentyl glycol is 12,233.
    33 yuan / ton, down 4,516.
    67 yuan / ton compared with the price at the beginning of the year, a decrease of 26.
    97%
    .
    The powder coatings downstream of neopentyl glycol are mostly used for real estate decoration building materials.
    Now the domestic real estate industry is in a downturn, the operating rate of powder coatings has decreased, the demand for neopentyl glycol has been greatly reduced, the enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials has declined, and neopentyl glycol has entered an off-season.
    all the way down
    .
    Liquid epoxy resin is currently quoted at 20,375 yuan/ton, down 6,125 yuan/ton from the beginning of the year, or 23.
    11%
    .
    The prices of epoxy resin-related products are all in a downward channel, and the support of resin costs is weakened
    .
    Weak demand in downstream terminal coatings, electrical and electronic industries, and weak spot market transactions
    .
    Affected by multiple factors such as the domestic epidemic, international geopolitics, and interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, consumer demand is sluggish, and short-term epoxy resin demand is still limited
    .
    The current price of n-butanol (industrial grade) is 8,000 yuan/ton, down 1266.
    67 yuan/ton from the beginning of the year, or 13.
    67%
    .
    The sharp decline in the n-butanol market after the shock is mainly due to the operation of the plant and the downstream demand
    .
    The largest downstream market of n-butanol, butyl acrylate, was weak, and the demand for tape master rolls and acrylate emulsions in the overall downstream industry was flat, and gradually entered the off-season of demand
    .
    The current price of isopropyl alcohol is 7125 yuan / ton, down 941.
    67 yuan / ton from the beginning of the year, a decrease of 11.
    67%
    .
    The market price of raw material acetone fell, the market transaction was light, and the focus of the negotiation fell.
    The mainstream quotation of propylene (Shandong) market fell below 8,000 yuan
    .
    The purchasing power of the terminal is average, the mentality on the market is under pressure, the holder of the goods has a positive intention to ship, the offer is down, and the transaction volume of the firm is insufficient
    .
    The downstream market demand is mainly based on rigid demand, fast in and fast out, and the overall market is in a situation where supply exceeds demand
    .
    Bisphenol A is currently quoted at 11,825 yuan/ton, down 1,400 yuan/ton or 10.
    59% from the beginning of the year
    .
    With the acceleration of the downward trend of the two major downstream, the cost side softened, and the multiple negative superimposed market broke down
    .
    Zhejiang Petrochemical's auction fell significantly, and downstream terminal consumption was lower than expected, superimposed on the weak and downward trend of upstream and downstream markets, which had a significant impact on bisphenol
    A.
    The current price of silicone DMC is 20,420 yuan / ton, down 1,413.
    33 yuan / ton from the beginning of the year, or 6.
    47%
    .
    The spread of public health events in various places has caused the terminal consumer market to shrink rapidly
    .
    The downstream is no longer willing to take over, resulting in a rapid increase in the risk of silicone inventory
    .
    The orders received by individual single factories continued to be sluggish, and the inventory was huge, so they started a price-cut promotion strategy.
    Due to the obvious compression of profit margins, the DMC ton price of some enterprises has officially fallen below 20,000
    .
    At present, the plastic chemical industry continues to be in a situation of weak supply and demand.

    .
    In terms of crude oil, there is a long-short game of crude oil, and the trend is full of uncertainty
    .
    The chemical manufacturers in the middle of the industrial chain have entered the stage of "zero profit production", and the end consumer market is stubbornly going through the winter, and no one dares to act rashly
    .
    However, many chemicals continue to be out of the "off-season" from the fundamentals, the demand continues to be poor, and the price is difficult to improve
