2、 Market analysis

This week, the market price of Yungui yellow phosphorus was lowered. The overall market trading situation of yellow phosphorus is average, and downstream purchases are priced at a low price, which is relatively resistant to high-end prices. The focus of market transactions has shifted downwards. Upstream phosphate rock prices have risen, putting pressure on costs, and there is little likelihood that manufacturers will continue to offer profits. At present, in the upstream and downstream markets, many manufacturers are selling at high prices and not buying at low prices. There are many downstream inquiries, and the actual order is cautious and hesitant, mainly on demand. As of now, the market quotation for yellow phosphorus is around 26000 yuan/ton, and the actual transaction is subject to negotiation.
