During the month, the operating rate of domestic phenol ketone units was stable at 90%. In February, there were two units, of which the 60000 T / a acetone unit of Bluestar Harbin was shut down for five days, and the 40000 t / a acetone unit of Yanshan East District was shut down for maintenance from January 8 to February 25. In the last ten days of the year, the orders of petrochemical enterprises were stable, while the port inventory was 40000 tons and the source of imported goods was on the high side. However, under the supply pressure, the market fell sharply, and the terminal demand was poor. Although the start-up of terminal factories increased, there was no intention to purchase large orders. The market just needed to follow up, so it was difficult to make great changes.

On the raw material side, during the month, the listing price of Sinopec pure benzene increased by 200 yuan / ton to 7900 yuan / ton, the price of propylene increased by 400 yuan / ton to 8100 yuan / ton, the cost increased significantly, and the rise was obvious in the first ten days under pressure.

The spot resources of bisphenol A are limited, but the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain have fallen one after another, which is bad for the bisphenol a market. The factories have lowered their prices for many times during the month, and the bidding decline during the month is obvious. Up to now, Changchun and lihuayi Weiyuan have offered 17500 yuan / ton, and the market offer is 17250-17400 yuan / ton.

From the perspective of business agency, Zhejiang Petrochemical phase II unit will receive much attention next month, while Shandong lihuayi’s bisphenol a storage and maintenance plan in April will increase the overall supply. However, in terms of import, it is heard that the supply of goods from South Korea and Saudi Arabia has decreased, and the details continue to pay attention to the situation in Hong Kong. It is expected that the domestic acetone market will still show a mixed trend in March, which is generally bullish.
