Market Overview:
After the National Day, the viscose staple fiber market sentiment has not improved significantly. Most manufacturers are still closed and do not accept orders. Some manufacturers are also testing quotations. The quotation has risen steadily, with the highest quotation rising to 15,000 yuan/ton, but no high-price transactions have been heard yet. Overall, the viscose staple fiber market is intertwined with good and bad news. The specific reasons need to be analyzed from the following factors:
1. The pressure on the cost side is increasing day by day
The recent price changes of raw material dissolving pulp have been limited, and production on demand is currently the main focus. The price of auxiliary materials, liquid alkali, is rising steadily. Affected by the power restriction policy in many places, the overall operating level of liquid alkali is not high, the price continues to soar, the cost of viscose staple fiber continues to increase, and production pressure is high.
2. The start-up of the viscose staple fiber industry has dropped to the bottom
Viscose staple fiber manufacturers chose to sign orders at a discount in the last round of procurement. Coupled with the strong support of the steady increase in production costs, manufacturers suffered serious losses. Therefore, most manufacturers reduced their installation load, and most manufacturers have less than 50% of the operating capacity. So far, viscose staple fiber manufacturers have experienced serious losses. The operating rate of the fiber industry was 57.01%. At present, most manufacturers are not accepting orders for the time being and are mainly executing orders and shipping them. In this way, manufacturers’ inventory will be released to a certain extent, which will provide a certain degree of positive support for the price of viscose staple fiber.
3. The downstream rayon yarn market trend is upward
The demand side is coming Look, the downstream rayon yarn manufacturers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are still affected by the power restriction and dual control policy. The industry’s start-up has declined, and the supply has tightened, causing yarn prices to continue to rise. This may provide certain support for the viscose staple fiber market. However, due to the installation Underloaded yarn mills also consume their viscose staple fiber orders relatively slowly.
Market outlook:
Judging from the current market situation, the price of liquid alkali has been soaring, the production pressure of viscose staple fiber is increasing day by day, manufacturers are suffering from serious losses, and the bullish atmosphere of viscose staple fiber is becoming increasingly strong. The specific price increase space has to wait for the industry The pricing situation of mainstream manufacturers and the market trend of rayon yarn. At present, the cost side of viscose staple fiber has strong support, and the price of downstream rayon yarn is also on the rise. It is inevitable for the price of viscose staple fiber to rise. </p
