[China Epoxy Network (China Epoxy Industry Online) www.

cn] News on March 24, 2009: The domestic market of epichlorohydrin is sorted out and the atmosphere is light, on the trading day (March 23) The mainstream transaction price in East China in the mainstream market continued to fluctuate in the range of 9,200-9,500 yuan/ton.
According to the analysis of market experts from the China Epoxy Industry Association (www.
epoxy-e.
cn), the market negotiated prices on that day basically maintained, but slightly lower prices are also heard.
The wait-and-see atmosphere is relatively strong, mainly light and wait-and-see, and the load of each factory remains unchanged.
As for adjustment measures, a set of equipment in Tianjin Chemical has returned to normal, but no external sales quotation has yet been made.
Market merchants are paying close attention to its dynamics.
The overall downstream demand has risen slowly, and most of them are ready to use.
Last week, the raw material propylene has risen all the way and the trend of liquid chlorine has stabilized.
The current market has not changed significantly.
Epichlorohydrin is mainly consolidating.
Manufacturers continue to control and maintain the load, the quotation is firm, some downstream pre-stocks are exhausted, and most of them follow the market.
Replenishment at an appropriate price; Tianjin Chemical is bound to sell to the outside world during the week, and slightly suppresses the market mentality.
The operation of major manufacturers' installations, price policies, and downstream market demand are still the focus of attention.
The current situation of raw materials is also worth looking at: due to the continued overhaul of propylene in Shandong and no specific restart plan, the supply of propylene is tight and difficult to change; liquid chlorine is operating stably-raw materials continue to support the high market operation, and some businesses in the market stock more , But it will take time for downstream terminal demand to improve, and there will be more profit-taking.
As the scale of supply grows and the situation is bound to slow down, the short-term market can still consolidate within a narrow range.

On the last trading day (March 23), the domestic epichlorohydrin market was dominated by consolidation, but the transaction was limited.
The manufacturer continued to control the start, the quotation was still in the original range, the major production facilities were operating smoothly, and Tianjin Chemical still had no obvious external quotation.
, The future trends of manufacturers are still the focus, and buyers are paying great attention to this.
Raw materials have limited fluctuations and inertial operation.
Among them: low propylene prices continue to rise slightly, and maintenance is still going on in Shandong.
Due to scarce supply and difficult procurement in the market, the actual negotiated price is 6900-7000 yuan/ton; the price of liquid chlorine for the other raw material is within a narrow range.
Consolidation, the mainstream negotiated price of 800-900 yuan/ton.
The downstream epoxy resin trend is stable and the delivery speed is slow, mainly due to the weak terminal demand, the thicker wait-and-see atmosphere and the more cautious acquisition of the goods, the market continues to consolidate within a narrow range.
At present, the atmosphere is slightly stalemate and negotiations are general.
The market continues to sort out the situation and mostly wait-and-see.
The downstream still resists high prices and cautiously pick up goods on demand.
Idle devices are gradually restarted and imported goods are gradually added.
Supply pressure will be further eased, and market adjustment pressure will increase.
The market outlook is imperative, and the market sentiment is about to change.
According to market experts from the China Epoxy-e.
cn Association (www.
epoxy-e.
cn), the mainstream quotation in East China is 9500-9800 yuan/ton, the mainstream transaction price is 9200-9500 yuan/ton; the mainstream quotation in Huangshan region is 9500～ 9800 yuan/ton, mainstream transaction price 9200-9500 yuan/ton; mainstream quotation in North China 9500-9800 yuan/ton, mainstream transaction price 9200-9500 yuan/ton; mainstream quotation in South China 10000-10300 yuan/ton, mainstream transaction price 9700～10000 yuan/ton.

    Domestic manufacturers’ quotations are firm and the trend is temporarily stable.
The mainstream range is 9500-9800 yuan/ton, with the latter dominating.
The wide characteristics still exist, the extreme gap between the two ends is very large, the start of construction has been adjusted, the restart plan is more, and the current operating load is already high.
It is expected that the start of construction will increase, which has a small advantage compared with the foreign market, and the industry has many worries about this.
