Weekly review of sulfuric acid (8.9-8.15)

1. Analysis of domestic sulfuric acid market

This week, the domestic sulfuric acid market is mixed, with prices rising in some regions. As of now, the factory price of 98% of smelting acid in Sichuan is 600-900 yuan/ton, and the price of 98% of sulfuric acid is 870-950 yuan/ton. In Shandong, the ex-factory price of 98% of smelting acid is 80-410 yuan/ton, and the price of 98% of ore acid is 380-430 yuan/ton; The price of sulfuric acid is high, and the production pressure of downstream titanium dioxide and other industries in Sichuan and other regions is high. As the supply of sulfuric acid increases in Yunnan, the acid price has dropped sharply, and the surrounding acid prices have also declined in varying degrees. However, due to the maintenance of acid plants in Gansu, the overall supply of sulfuric acid in Sichuan is still tight, and the price adjustment is limited; However, recent shipments of acid companies in Shandong, Hebei and other regions have been relatively good, and companies have removed more stocks. In addition, the market demand for phosphate fertilizers has still remained good, and the price of sulfuric acid has also shown a slight upward trend. Due to the sharp decline in prices in some regions, some market participants have also become pessimistic. However, supported by overall downstream demand, acid prices in most regions have temporarily stabilized, and the decline in market prices has been limited. Downstream procurement is still relatively cautious, and the sulfuric acid market may operate in a stable and volatile manner.
