Analysis review
After the Qingming holiday, the phosphoric acid market was generally stable, but the price of raw material phosphorus yellow fell, and some phosphoric acid companies' offers were slightly lowered, and the market focus shifted down slightly. At present, the public health incident is still severe, and logistics in various places are affected to varying degrees. Some enterprises are restricted in starting work, and downstream users are still cautious in their purchases, and continue to wait and see. As of the weekend, the price of raw materials was about 35,000-37,000 RMB/ton, and the market price of phosphoric acid was about 9,500-12,000 RMB/ton. The quotation in Sichuan area was around 10,000 RMB/ton, the quotation in Hubei area was 10,000-11,500 RMB/ton, the quotation in Shandong area was 10,500-10,800 RMB/ton, and the quotation in Jiangsu area was 9,500-11,500 RMB/ton.
Phosphate rock, as of April 7, the reference average price of 30% grade phosphate rock in mainstream regions in China was around 763 RMB/ton, compared with the price on April 1 (the average reference price of phosphate rock was 740 RMB/ton), the average price rose by 23 RMB/ton, or 3.15%. April is the peak season for spring ploughing and planting. The demand for phosphate fertilizers and other downstream phosphate rock terminals has increased, supporting the market. In addition, the short-term supply of phosphate rock in the field is limited and the improvement is limited. Therefore, the phosphate rock data engineer of SunSirs believes that in the short term, the domestic phosphate rock market will mostly be dominated by high-level consolidation.
