Analysis review
In early July, the price of bromine was weak, and currently the mainstream market price in Shandong is around 20,000-21,000 RMB/ton. In terms of supply, various bromine manufacturers are currently operating normally, producing seawater bromine in large quantities. Imported bromine has gradually arrived at the port, increasing bromine production and impacting the domestic market. The production of downstream flame retardants for bromine is average, and the industry is operating weakly. The demand for agriculture and intermediates is average. In terms of raw materials, domestic sulfur prices have risen, with an average market price of 1,206.67 RMB/ton at the beginning of the week and an average market price of 1,293.33 RMB/ton over the weekend, with a price increase of 7.18%, an increase of 77.77% compared to the same period last year. Downstream procurement is mainly based on demand.
Market outlook
The price of bromine has been running weakly recently. Although the upstream sulfur price has risen, the downstream flame retardant production of bromine is generally weak, and the industry is operating in a weak market. The demand for agriculture and intermediates is average, and supply and demand game. Overall, it is expected that bromine will continue to operate weakly in the later stage, depending on downstream market demand.
