I. Key Highlights

  1. The market sentiment for 97% fluorspar powder remains mixed, with sellers maintaining firm prices. The sulfuric acid market shows divergent trends (some rising, some falling), while downstream demand is sluggish.
  2. For October, the mainstream delivered price reference for anhydrous hydrofluoric acid used in refrigerants was RMB 14,500–14,800/ton.
  3. Mainstream quotes from major producers in the East China fluorinated refrigerant market remain firm, with the upward trend continuing.

Core Logic: Sulfuric acid prices are consolidating at high levels, providing continued cost support. However, significant contraction in demand is causing bearish factors to persistently transmit through the market.

III. Market Outlook

Last week, the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market saw a significant upward trend. During the bidding and pricing cycle, bullish sentiment was strong within the market. The central pricing point rose by RMB 500–1,100/ton, centering around RMB 15,300–15,650/ton. Overall, the supply side actively pushed market sentiment due to tight capacity. Cost pressure in southern markets doubled under the influence of sulfuric acid prices, while demand did not show obvious decline, leading to a continuous rise in the central pricing point.

November pricing for anhydrous hydrofluoric acid:

  • Sinochem Taicang: RMB 15,500–15,600/ton
  • Shangyu: RMB 15,600/ton
  • Meilan: RMB 15,300/ton
  • Juhua: RMB 15,600–15,650/ton

As of press time, the mainstream delivered price reference for the domestic anhydrous hydrofluoric acid market is RMB 15,300–15,650/ton.

    Anhydrous HF prices jumped to 15,300–15,650 RMB/ton due to tight supply and high sulfuric acid feedstock costs. Although margins improved to 8.38%, sluggish downstream demand creates mixed sentiment. I expect pricing to..
