The downstream flame retardant and intermediate industries had recently started to replenish their inventory in an appropriate amount, and still relied mainly on on-demand procurement. The production of bromine enterprises was stable, and the shipment situation was average, mainly wait-and-see overall.

In terms of raw materials: Domestic sulfur prices were weak this week, with an average market price of 983.33 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week and 940 yuan/ton at the weekend. The price had decreased by 1.41%, and a year-on-year decrease of 73.22%. On site inquiries were average, enterprises were actively shipping, and the market transaction price was low. Downstream purchases were just on demand, and sulfur enterprises' shipments were average. The sulfur market was sorted and operated on a wait-and-see basis.

Market outlook

Recently, the mainstream price of bromine maintained stable operation, while the upstream sulfur price declined. The demand of downstream flame retardants and intermediates in the bromine industry was general recently. Bromine has been under no inventory pressure recently, and the overall wait-and-see attitude is the main one. Bromine companies had no pressure on inventory recently, and their overall attitude was mainly wait-and-see. Overall, it is expected that the price of bromine will consolidate in the short term, depending on downstream market demand.
