1. Analysis of Chinese Sulfuric Acid Market
This week, China's sulfuric acid market is in a stalemate, and prices in some regions are mixed; as of now, the price of 98% of smelting acid in Shandong is between 30-110 yuan/ton, and the price of 98% of smelting acid in Henan is between 1-50 yuan/ton; Due to the continuous downward adjustment of sulfuric acid prices in the early period, acid prices in some regions have dropped to low levels. The inventory pressure on acid factories in Henan, Hubei and other regions has eased this week; Demand in the downstream chemical fertilizer and chemical industries is sluggish and there is basically no support for sulfuric acid. Shipping pressure in most regions such as Shandong is still high, and acid prices in some regions may weaken again in the later period.
