Melamine prices rise

The new Melamine melamine market has recently strengthened, with prices rising by 300-600 yuan (t price, the same below). At present, the melamine factory price is mostly 10,000 to 10,500 yuan, the market wholesale price is mostly 10100 to 10,800 yuan, the low-end is atmospheric pressure, high-end high-pressure method. Among them, Guangdong, Fujian and other places have relatively high prices, the market price of atmospheric pressure is 10,400 to 10,500 yuan, and the high pressure method is 10,600 to 10,800 yuan. The prices in Shandong and Henan are relatively low, and the atmospheric pressure quotation is about 10,000 yuan. .

Looking at the price increase, the biggest increase occurred after the National Development and Reform Commission announced that it would raise the price of gasoline and diesel fuel from April 7. Since February, international oil prices have soared and are currently at a high level of more than US$100/bbl. This has driven up the price of the entire petrochemical product, raising concerns about rising production costs caused by rising energy prices, and increasing expectations for inflation. This has led to increased procurement efforts to drive up prices. Second, due to factors such as tight supply of natural gas or equipment itself, Sichuan Yulong, Shandong Luxi Chemicals and other major melamine plants have all been shut down for maintenance, resulting in a reduction in the supply of supplies; In addition, since the beginning of this year, the export situation of melamine in China has been very good. Many enterprises have export orders, and some companies even export. From January to February of this year, the total export volume was 32,600 tons, an increase of 97.58% from 16,500 tons in the same period of last year. The current FOB export price is between 1,520 and 1,550 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to the domestic price.
