Ammonium chloride market is running at a high level
At present, the domestic urea market is sluggish, and the output is surplus. According to the statistics of China Fertilizer Network, the overall industry operating rate of urea companies is 57.86%, and the total daily output is about 162,400 tons; Some companies may shift the focus of production to urea, so there is a risk of urea companies starting to climb. On the whole, demand has weakened. The agricultural market has entered an off-season. There is no market at the grassroots wholesale level, and large-scale agricultural traders are ready to use it. The production of industrial compound fertilizers in the second half of the spring, the summer production of high nitrogen fertilizers is not high, and the raw material urea The purchase volume is limited, and the demand for plywood factories is limited. The overall supply of urea is oversupply, the confidence is not enough, and the price still has a tendency and space to fall. If ammonium chloride wants to stay out of the way, it may not be possible. It is also expected that it will be involved.
However, the domestic AMMONIUM chloride market is currently operating at a high level. The pending orders are generally sufficient and the spot shipments are tight. However, the new orders have been significantly reduced compared with the previous period. The prices of a few small factories have been lowered, and the transaction prices of some large factories have been slightly loose. At present, the quotation of wet ammonium mainstream delivery in central China is around 550 CNY/ton, the dry amine mainstream delivery price is around 650 CNY/ton, and the quotation of dry ammonium supply sources in some provinces along the river is about 650 CNY/ton; The mainstream offer price of ammonium is about 480-520 CNY/ton, and the high-end 540-550 CNY/ton, and the following points need to be paid attention to in the later trend.
First of all, the start of the joint alkali enterprises is a high level, which is one of the most worrying issues in the later period. According to the statistics of China Fertilizer Network, the overall industry operating rate of the soda ash enterprises is currently 78.1%, and the daily output is about 38,900 tons. Due to the weak soda ash market, the company's double-ton cost is under great pressure. If the parking is overhauled, the pressure will not be reduced. Reverse increase, plus sufficient pending orders in the previous period, so its production enthusiasm is relatively high, and the difficulty of starting work has been significantly reduced. However, a few large factories have maintenance plans next week or in May, which will reduce the supply of goods on the market to a certain extent. Shipments.
Secondly, the demand gradually slowed down, and the new orders of ammonium chloride enterprises decreased. Affected by public events in the society, traders and compound fertilizer companies had “suspected” panic purchases in the early stage. The situation of concentrated purchases has so far dissipated. The current downstream market has ample supply of ammonium chloride and production and sales have entered the second half. The quantity of new orders is limited, especially in the Northeast market, when the demand is in the tail-end phase, the transaction is getting lighter. Some traders say that the sales pressure of Bayuquan Port is greater and the prices are loosing; and the production of high nitrogen fertilizer is slow, and the production enthusiasm of compound fertilizer companies is not high The construction started slightly, and at the same time, it was necessary to consider that under the background of poor economic environment, the compound fertilizer may weaken after the weakening of ammonium chloride. Traders are cautious in their operations, generally use it as they go, and there is a lack of centralized procurement in the market.
Once again, the Urea market is sluggish and prices are falling. It is more dominant than ammonium chloride in the summer fertilizer market and will be more popular. Ammonium chloride is likely to follow in the later stages of urea.
