Nitric Acid, Bull-Bear Score: -1
The article points out that the stable release of concentrated nitric acid production and ample market supply have led to a 50 yuan per ton decrease in the mainstream negotiated average price for 98% concentrated nitric acid, now ranging between 1,450 and 1,550 yuan per ton. This indicates an oversupply situation, exerting a generally bearish impact on spot prices.
Liquid Ammonia, Bull-Bear Score: -1
As an upstream cost factor for nitric acid, the recent continuous decline in liquid ammonia prices reflects sufficient supply or weak demand in the liquid ammonia market. The reduction in costs indirectly intensifies pressure on nitric acid prices, creating downward pressure on liquid ammonia spot prices and constituting a generally bearish influence.
