欧洲化工行业谋求自救
Zhong Guo Hua Gong Bao· 2025-10-09 03:09
尽管化工行业在欧洲得到前所未有的重视,但目前市场仍深陷困境,短期难见曙光。9月22日至25日, 在德国柏林举行的第59届欧洲石化协会(EPCA)年会上,欧洲化工行业情绪依旧悲观。欧洲化工理事会 (Cefic)总干事马尔科·门辛克坦言,当前欧洲化工行业正处于"极具挑战性的时期",只有产能整合与《化 工行动计划》快速落地才可能拯救欧洲化工行业。 产能整合是复苏关键 欧洲化工行业的大范围产能关停已不容忽视。英力士集团位于安特卫普的"一号项目"预计2027年初投 产,这一新增产能将不可避免地将对欧洲现有剩余产能造成冲击。 门辛克表示:"当你看到一些投产年限并不长的装置也被关停时,就意味着我们必须高度警惕了,目前 这样的案例已出现多起。很明显,欧洲化工行业必须先完成产能重组与整合,才有可能迎来真正的好 转。复苏终将到来,但2026或2027年大概率无法实现,最早可能要等到2028年。" 门辛克指出:"这份行动计划包含了所有正确的要素,但当前的核心挑战在于,政策体系能否快速落地 执行。面对当前不断发生的产能关停,加快行动计划的落地已成为眼下最紧迫的任务。" 尽管新的立法计划已出台,却并未能阻止欧洲化工产能的持续退出,部分 ...
欧洲PP市场复苏路漫漫
Zhong Guo Hua Gong Bao· 2025-09-26 03:24
建筑行业低迷同样影响PP需求。尽管部分市场参与者认为,德国5000亿欧元基础设施拨款法案等政府 举措可能成为提振需求的潜在推动力,但对四季度消费状况好转的短期预期则希望渺茫。 进口竞争加剧 市场需求疲软 低价进口冲击 在德国杜塞尔多夫近日举办的K 2025国际塑料及橡胶展上,参展商一方面对当前市场感到失望,另一方 面也希望在全球经济与政治不确定性中找到方向。生产商们面临的困境,主要源于整个价值链中聚丙烯 (PP)需求的持续下滑。2025年上半年,节后补货需求曾支撑现货价格走高;但随着全年进程推进,PP现 货市场整体呈现下行趋势。 标普全球商品洞察旗下普氏能源资讯数据显示,8月西北欧地区均聚注塑级PP送达现货价格跌至940欧 元/吨的低点,为2020年11月以来的最低水平。进入9月,价格仍维持在这一低位,市场参与者对四季度 复苏持悲观态度。 下游需求疲软 PP需求疲软,源于核心消费领域产能利用率低迷,特别是汽车和建筑行业。PP是汽车制造中应用最广 泛的聚合物之一,汽车行业的低迷表现对PP市场冲击显著。受经济形势疲软、能源成本高企、国际竞 争加剧,以及美国关税和贸易争端等引发的不确定性影响,汽车行业销量持续承压。 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market is weak, and the prices of finished steel products continue to fluctuate weakly. Although the global liquidity easing is expected to drive the recovery of the manufacturing industry and indirectly boost steel demand in the long - term, currently, the demand for both rebar and hot - rolled coils is weak, and steel prices may still decline if demand cannot be effectively restored [2]. - The supply of iron ore has increased, with overseas shipments reaching a high level in the same period. Although the demand for iron ore remains strong in the short - term, the price is expected to fluctuate as the profitability of steel mills has been decreasing [5]. - The prices of ferrosilicon and silicomanganese are in a range - bound pattern, and the operation difficulty is high. From a fundamental perspective, they are likely to follow the trend of the black sector, and the operation cost - effectiveness is relatively low [9][11]. - The price of industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate. Although there is some support from the demand side, the problems of over - capacity, high inventory, and insufficient demand still exist. The price of polysilicon is more influenced by policies, and the inventory reduction space of the whole industry is limited [14][17]. - The glass market shows a differentiated trend, with supply slightly increasing and inventory decreasing marginally. However, terminal demand is weak, and it is expected to maintain a volatile trend. The demand for soda ash is average, and it is expected to fluctuate narrowly [20][22].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall atmosphere in the commodity market has warmed up, but the price trend of finished products shows a volatile and slightly stronger pattern. The economic data in August slowed down overall and was lower than expected, increasing the possibility of more stimulus policies. The real - estate sales are still weak, and it will take time for the real - estate market to stabilize. The export volume declined slightly last week and remains in a weak and volatile pattern. The demand for rebar is weak, while the demand for hot - rolled coils is relatively strong, and their trends have diverged. Although it has entered the traditional peak season, the demand for rebar is still weak, and the demand for hot - rolled coils still has some resilience. If the subsequent demand cannot be effectively repaired, steel prices still have the risk of decline. The raw material side is relatively strong, and attention should be paid to the possible disturbances caused by safety inspections and environmental protection restrictions. In the long - term, although the black sector prices may have a short - term correction risk due to real - demand factors, in the face of the subsequent certainty of overseas fiscal and monetary double - easing and the opening of China's policy space, the black sector may gradually have the cost - effectiveness of long - allocation, and the key node may focus on the "Fourth Plenary Session" around mid - October [3][10]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Steel - **Rebar**: The closing price of the rebar main contract in the afternoon was 3166 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton (0.956%) from the previous trading day.

The weighted position of iron ore was 845,800 lots. The price of PB fines at Qingdao Port was 797 yuan/wet ton, with a basis of 44.25 yuan/ton and a basis ratio of 5.22%. The overseas iron ore shipments in the latest period rebounded to a high level in the same period. The shipments from Australia increased month - on - month, and the shipments from Brazil rebounded significantly. The shipments from non - mainstream countries also increased. The recent arrival volume decreased slightly. The daily average pig iron output in the latest period was 240,550 tons, a month - on - month increase of 11,710 tons. The inventory in ports and steel mills' imported ore increased slightly. In general, the iron ore price will fluctuate in the short term [5][6]. Manganese Silicon and Ferrosilicon - **Manganese Silicon**: On September 16, the price of coking coal rose significantly during the day, driving the alloy price stronger. The main contract of manganese silicon (SM601) rose in the morning and then gradually declined, closing up 0.647% at 5944 yuan/ton. The spot price of 6517 manganese silicon in Tianjin was 5820 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 20 yuan/ton, with a premium of 66 yuan/ton over the futures price. The daily - line level of the manganese silicon futures price maintains a range - bound pattern, and it is recommended that speculative positions mainly wait and see [8][9]. - **Ferrosilicon**: The main contract of ferrosilicon (SF511) opened higher and then gradually declined, closing flat at 5700 yuan/ton. The spot price of 72 ferrosilicon in Tianjin was 5750 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 50 yuan/ton, with a premium of 50 yuan/ton over the futures price.

The price of 421 was 9600 yuan/ton, a month - on - month increase of 100 yuan/ton, with a basis of - 115 yuan/ton. The price of industrial silicon is expected to fluctuate in the short term. The fundamentals are weak, but if the market continues to discuss relevant topics such as "anti - involution", the price may rise further [13][14]. - **Polysilicon**: The closing price of the polysilicon futures main contract (PS2511) was 53,670 yuan/ton, with a change of +0.23% (+125). The weighted contract position decreased by 6229 lots to 293,968 lots. The average price of N - type granular silicon in the SMM caliber was 49.5 yuan/kg, a month - on - month increase of 1 yuan/kg; the average price of N - type dense material was 51 yuan/kg, a month - on - month increase of 0.95 yuan/kg; the average price of N - type re - feeding material was 52.5 yuan/kg, a month - on - month increase of 0.95 yuan/kg, with a basis of - 1170 yuan/ton. The polysilicon price is more policy - driven, and the market focus is on capacity - integration policies and downstream price - passing progress. The price is volatile, and attention should be paid to position and risk control [15][16]. Glass and Soda Ash - **Glass**: The main contract of glass closed at 1237 yuan/ton on Tuesday afternoon, up 2.49% (+30). The quoted price of large - size glass in North China was 1150 yuan, unchanged from the previous day; the quoted price in Central China was 1110 yuan, also unchanged.
