Market Analysis

Market Performance This Month: Bromine prices trended downward, remaining weak. In the Shandong market, prices fell, with manufacturers quoting reference rates of 26,000-28,000 RMB/ton; actual trading was sluggish, and a "wait-and-see" sentiment prevailed. Operating rates in the bromine industry continued to rise, gradually replenishing spot supplies. Regarding demand, downstream enterprises showed only moderate purchasing enthusiasm and a slow pace of transactions, largely limiting themselves to essential, cautious buying.

Raw Materials: Domestic sulfur prices rose throughout the month. The average market price climbed from 7,516.67 RMB/ton at the beginning of the month to 8,935.67 RMB/ton at the end—an increase of 18.88% for the month and 282.79% year-on-year. Downstream buyers generally purchased based on actual needs.

Market Outlook

Bromine prices have recently been trending weakly; while upstream sulfur prices have risen, overall operating rates for bromine production remain high. Downstream buyers are purchasing cautiously, limiting upward momentum. Given the interplay between supply and demand, bromine prices are expected to undergo weak consolidation in the near term, with the outlook contingent on the international situation and downstream market demand.
