Morning Market Brief: Domestic Wet Fluorite Powder (September 17, 2026)

I. Key Points

1. The market for 97% wet fluorspar powder is characterized by weak supply and demand, yet upward price momentum remains strong.
2. For anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF), the mainstream contract delivered price in September is referenced at RMB 15,050–15,200/ton, while the spot market delivered price ranges from RMB 15,500–16,000/ton.
3. Major producers of refrigerant R32 maintain firm offers, with operating rates hovering around 40–50%.

Core Logic: Market sentiment for fluorine chemical feedstocks has cooled recently. Although shutdowns by major northern plants have stimulated the market, they are unlikely to alter the fundamental contradiction of oversupply.

III. Market Outlook

Yesterday, the domestic market for 97% fluorspar concentrate exhibited strong wait-and-see sentiment. Currently, the overall atmosphere leans bearish. With downstream pricing imminent, negative sentiment is pronounced. Although pre-holiday factors provide some support, future demand is expected to decline significantly. Mainstream downstream enterprises intend to reduce operating loads to digest high inventory levels. Additionally, the sulfuric acid market has seen a range-bound decline, alleviating pressure on hydrofluoric acid costs. However, fluorspar prices are already at high levels, lacking sufficient support for further increases.

Current spot delivered prices across various domestic markets are as follows:

• Inner Mongolia: RMB 3,300–3,500/ton
• Zhejiang: RMB 3,500–3,600/ton
• Jiangxi & Fujian: RMB 3,750–3,850/ton
• Shandong: RMB 3,550–3,600/ton
• Northwest China: RMB 3,400–3,450/ton
• Henan & Anhui: RMB 3,400–3,450/ton

As of press time, the mainstream delivered price for domestic wet fluorspar powder is referenced at RMB 3,300–3,850/ton.
