On May 10th, the benchmark price of phosphorus yellow in SunSirs was 22,760 RMB/ton, a decrease of 833 RMB/ton or 3.53% compared to May 1st, and an increase of 100 RMB/ton or 0.44% compared to April. This week, the phosphorus yellow market was weak and the consumption of phosphorus yellow was weak. Enterprises mainly purchased according to orders, while other terminal enterprises had no positive news for the time being.

Demand side:

The main downstream flame retardant enterprises had been operating steadily, with primary demand for procurement and weak demand for other downstream products. Sporadic on-demand procurement and average shipments had led to severe price pressure from traders. The supply of sodium hypophosphate was sufficient, and the confidence of enterprises in stabilizing prices was insufficient. A few sodium hypophosphate enterprises had lowered prices and cleared their inventory.

Market outlook

The upstream phosphorus yellow market was operating weakly, and the supply side support for sodium hypophosphate was showing a weakening trend. The inventory situation on the market was still good, and there was still a strong sentiment of price support. The price was mainly maintained, and the mentality of the holders was still acceptable. Downstream users will continue to purchase on demand, and it is expected that the price of sodium hypophosphate in the market will remain stable and consolidate in the near future.
