Analysis review

The domestic bromine price was weak. On the 3rd, the mainstream price of Shandong enterprises was around 66,000-67,000 RMB/ton. The price of bromine was weak this week, and the actual transaction was average. At present, domestic bromine prices are falling, and corporate inventories are low, and manufacturers are not in a hurry to ship products. The downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries of bromine are resistant to high-priced bromine, and mostly maintain rigid demand. The game between supply and demand continues.

In terms of raw materials: According to the price monitoring of SunSirs, the current domestic refinery inventory is running at a low level, the downstream demand performance is average, the phosphate fertilizer winter storage market has a weak response, new orders are small, terminal consumption is not enough to support sulfur, and the industry holds a wait-and-see attitude towards the market outlook. Market outlook forecast: the sulfur market will be stalemate and run in the short term.

Market outlook

SunSirs’ analysts believe that the overall demand for bromine has grown relatively slowly, and corporate inventories are low. Now the downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries of bromine are resistant to high-priced bromine, and they mainly purchase on demand. At this stage, the actual transaction is light. It is comprehensively estimated that the price of bromine in the short term will remain weak in the later period, depending on the downstream market demand.
