Analysis review
This week, the fundamentals of refrigerant R22 were slightly stronger as a whole, and the quotation prices of enterprises rose slightly. The price of raw material chloroform continued to rise within the month, the overall stability of hydrofluoric acid was weak, and the cost of raw materials rose slightly. Under the support of cost, the price of R22 rose slightly.
Since September, the price of hydrofluoric acid has remained weak and stable as a whole, the price of trichloroethylene has continued to be strong, and the cost of raw materials has continued to rise. Under the support of cost and demand, the price of domestic refrigerant R134a continued to rise.
In terms of raw materials, the overall price of domestic hydrofluoric acid was relatively low in September, and it kept moving forward. The continued low price of hydrofluoric acid will suppress the price of domestic R134a in the market outlook.
Market outlook
Refrigerant analysts of SunSirs believe that raw material costs continue to rise, manufacturers' inventories are relatively low, and under the support of costs and demand, it is expected that domestic R22 and R134a prices will continue to run strongly in the short term.
