August 13 news
On August 12, 2026, the hydrofluoric acid market in China showed a weak and volatile pattern, with short-term price trends lacking a unified trend support. The 5-day and 10-day moving average differences remained stable, while the 20-day moving average difference showed a significant downward trend. The market is characterized by a tug-of-war between bullish and bearish forces, and trend signals are divergent. Currently, the product price is at a high level within the year, with limited upward potential, and there is a possibility of a price correction. The industrial end operates stably, with spot transactions mainly based on negotiated contracts. Coupled with the expectation of new fluorine chemical production capacity plans being implemented in the future, the long-term supply pressure in the market may gradually become apparent. Subsequent attention should be focused on price trend signals and the progress of capacity release.

The current overall market trend is weak and volatile. Specifically, the short-term 5-day and 10-day moving averages have not changed compared to yesterday, indicating a stable and less volatile short-term market trend. The medium-term 20-day moving average continues to decline, reflecting a reduction in the upward momentum of the market. The moving averages across different periods have not formed a unified trend of simultaneous increase or decrease, which fully meets the criteria for a volatile market trend. The short-term market direction remains unclear with no definitive single-directional increase or decrease.
Four, Price Position and Spatial Reference
From an annual price perspective, the current hydrofluoric acid price in China is operating in the fifth highest range of a one-year cycle. The overall upward momentum of the price is weak, and the room for increase is limited. If the market shows clear signals of price decline and the transaction focus shifts downward, there will be a reasonable space for the high prices to adjust, and the market trend is likely to return to a rational range.
