Chemical ETFs rose nearly 1%, institutions expect a price rebound for hexafluorine in April

The chemical ETF rose nearly 1%, with institutions expecting a price rebound for hexafluorine in April. Due to TINCI's production halt for maintenance, the industry is actively destocking, and current inventory has dropped to historical lows. The production cost of hexafluorine has significantly increased due to the rise in lithium carbonate prices. Mainstream companies have a strong demand for price increases, and significant profit elasticity is expected in the future. Solvents and by-products such as propylene glycol have also entered a price increase phase, with rising oil prices driving up the prices of related products. The chemical ETF closely tracks the CSI Subdivision Chemical Industry Theme Index, with the latest price reported at 0.89 yuan
