Statistics and analysis of China's sulphur market in the first half of 2016

对2016年上半年中国硫磺市场情况进行了统计与分析。2016年上半年硫磺价格不断探历史低位，硫磺颗粒成交价从1月的970～980元／t开始震荡，直到6月底颗粒价格不足700元／t，市场基本无明显的反弹行情。2016年上半年中国硫磺进口量累计6570kt，同比增加25％。沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋和加拿大是中国硫磺主要进口国，其中，来自沙特阿拉伯的硫磺进口量约1469kt，同比增长43％。与2015年相比，哈萨克斯坦进口量同比明显减少63％，而阿联酋和俄罗斯进口量则明显增加，分别为175％和245％。2016年上半年中国硫磺进口主要集中在南京海关、南宁海关和湛江海关，三大海关的进口量占全国总进口量的79％。预计2016年下半年整体行情会延续上半年单价低的状况，行情大幅反弹有一定困难。
