According to the monitoring of the Commodity Market Analysis System of the Business Society, the price trend of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid in China is temporarily stable. As of the 11th, the market price of hydrofluoric acid was 10100 yuan/ton, which is the same as the 4th price of 10100 yuan/ton, with a year-on-year increase of 1.0%.

Supply side: Recently, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid has been temporarily stable. The mainstream price of hydrofluoric acid discussed in various regions of China is 10000-10400 yuan/ton. Recently, some devices have been shut down and waiting for market, and the spot supply of hydrofluoric acid has not changed much. The order situation of manufacturers for hydrofluoric acid is average, with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid starting at around 60%. Some enterprises have accumulated inventory, and due to strong support from raw materials, the price trend of hydrofluoric acid market is mainly stable.

Cost side: The price trend of domestic fluorite has increased. As of the 11th, the average price of domestic fluorite was 3193.75 yuan/ton, an increase of 0.20% compared to the 4th price of 3056.25 yuan/ton. The operating rate of fluorite enterprises remains low, and upstream mining is still tense. Backward mines will continue to be phased out, new mines will be added, and mineral investigation work is still difficult. In addition, mining enterprises are facing increasingly strict safety and environmental requirements, and fluorite mines are operating insufficient, resulting in environmental protection The requirements of emergency management departments and others are becoming stricter, and the difficulty of starting mining has increased. Affected by the tight supply of raw materials, the fluorite market is unlikely to improve in the short term, and the focus of spot negotiations is strengthening. Downstream enterprises follow up on demand, and cost support has maintained high prices in the hydrofluoric acid market.

Recently, the sulfuric acid market has maintained a high level. As of the 11th, the average domestic sulfuric acid price was 306 yuan/ton, slightly 1.92% lower than the 4th price of 312 yuan/ton. Although the sulfuric acid market price has slightly declined, overall it is at a high level. Downstream customers of sulfuric acid have a good enthusiasm for purchasing sulfuric acid. The high price of sulfuric acid has boosted the domestic hydrofluoric acid market, and the price trend of hydrofluoric acid is temporarily stable.

On the demand side: The market trend of downstream refrigerant products at the terminal has increased, and the operating rate of the refrigerant industry has not changed much. The load of refrigerant R22 manufacturers is not high, and downstream procurement needs to follow up. Some enterprises have absorbed quotas in advance, and the monthly average quantity of remaining quotas is relatively small. The price trend of R22 has increased. The domestic R134a manufacturers are operating at low loads, and the price of R134a is rising. Some companies have a strong reluctance to sell, and there is currently no mentality to sell low-priced orders. Some businesses have a rising price trend, and the current cost is firm. Enterprises’ reluctance to sell has escalated. The current market quotation for refrigerant R134a is mostly in the range of 25000 to 25500 yuan/ton. Supply and cost factors have driven refrigerant companies to have a clear intention to sell, and the refrigerant market trend has increased, To some extent, it is beneficial for the domestic market price of hydrofluoric acid.

Future forecast: The market trend of upstream raw material fluorite has slightly increased, fluorite enterprises have a strong intention to increase prices, and the price of sulfuric acid has a downward trend; The market trend of the downstream refrigerant industry is rising, but refrigerant production remains at a low level. Chen Ling, a hydrofluoric acid analyst at Long Short Interleaved Business Society, believes that the stable price trend of the hydrofluoric acid market is the main trend in the short term.
