The price of some monomers rose and fell repeatedly this week, one price a day. Yesterday, it rose slightly by 300 yuan / ton, DMC quoted 30400 yuan / ton, and the quotations of other monomers remained stable. Due to the large decline of chemical grade metal silicon this week, 421# chemical grade metal silicon fell by 9000 this week, weakening the cost support of monomers. In addition, some monomers fell below 30000, The wait-and-see mood in the middle and lower reaches of the market has increased, and the stock tends to be cautious.


At present, the downstream demand is also in a differentiated state, with good and bad intertwined. The price is repeated, rising is not like rising, falling is not like falling, and the upstream and downstream are very tangled. It is expected that the overall trading in the near future is general, and the supply and demand are in a stalemate game with multiple factors.


This week, the domestic market price trend of fumed silica fluctuated and weakened. At present, the mainstream quotation in the market is 35000-42000 yuan / ton, down 3000-5000 yuan / ton compared with last week. From the raw material side, the price of silicon tetrachloride runs smoothly, while the price of methyltrichlorosilane shows a downward trend. Therefore, for gas-phase silica manufacturers using different raw materials, there are strong and weak in terms of cost support, and the quotation and profit margin of manufacturers are different.


From the supply side, the operating load of fumed silica manufacturers is limited and the market supply is not much, but the downstream willingness to receive goods is not high, and the manufacturers' supply is not moving fast. Therefore, in order to retain large customers, the fumed silica manufacturers have a large margin of real order profit transfer, and there are also different degrees of profit transfer space for small and medium-sized customers.


From the demand side, the downstream rubber market is optimistic, the manufacturers ship smoothly, and the demand for gas silica has increased, while the demand for liquid rubber has recovered slowly, and the trading still needs to be improved. Most of the gas-phase silica is just needed to be purchased. At present, the high-level shipment of fumed silica is blocked. It is expected that there is still room for decline in the future offer, and the market trading focus continues to move downward.
