Ingredient Powder Prices Update: Potassium Iodide Is On Sale

It is now the fourth quarter of 2022, and the new year is just around the corner. Most raw materials manufacturers currently carry promotional plans to achieve the yearly sale target. In addition, given the economic situation at home and abroad and the status quo of the global epidemic, how have ingredient powder prices developed? Is now the best time to buy?

What Are The Recent US & China Economic Policies?

In recent months, the movements of the dollar and the RMB have attracted much attention and have been accompanied by many different speculations.

The People’s Bank of China has been easing interest rates to help the Chinese economy recover from the COVID policy. But the Fed is raising interest rates in an attempt to control inflation. Due to the different monetary policies of China and the United States, the widening gap has made it difficult for China’s monetary easing policy to maintain its economy.

Does The Devaluation of The RMB Have A Positive Impact on China?

In some ways, the answer is yes – a weaker currency could make Chinese exports cheaper.

But, because of COVID, the impact of exports alone on the Chinese economy is not enough. Moreover, the central bank also needs to rely on the rapid devaluation of the RMB to attract more and more good foreign investment while avoiding large-scale capital outflows. It may also influence Chinese consumers by pushing foreigners to spend in China. And once borders reopen, it will be more expensive for Chinese to travel abroad.

For the sake of clarifying the scope of the strategy, the Chinese government emphasized that China wants to make the RMB more internationalized and market-oriented through short-term measures rather than controlling the long-term value of the RMB.

Traders bet the Fed will pull out of policy, thus causing the dollar to fall, retreating from the 7.2 level. However, the stronger-than-expected US jobs report suggested the Fed will continue its current tightening policy. Currently, the exchange rate is 7.3 (as of today). This data can be seen that the RMB continues to be under pressure and the US dollar continues to dominate.

Has The Domestic Raw Material Market Improved?

In 2022, the epidemic will recur. In the past three months, various cities have been locked down due to the epidemic, which has led to sluggish domestic consumption and a sluggish economy in China. In October, Chinese manufacturers and raw material factories still hope to reduce their inventory problems greatly. Here are the latest industry trends this week, including ingredient powder prices, store, etc., from Nutri Avenue:

1. Ascorbic Acid manufacturers or factories in China have closed in the third quarter of 2022 to regulate supply and demand. As we’re heading into the fourth quarter, Ascorbic Acid powder, which is vitamin C, is well stocked at an attractive price.
2. The war between Ukraine and Russia continues. The radioactive iodine problem caused by the war aroused everyone’s attention. Potassium Iodide Powder, also known as KI, is the same ingredient. KI can effectively reduce the risk of developing thyroid cancer in individuals or groups with inhaled radioactive iodine. At present, this product has a high degree of attention in the market, and there are many inquiries and transactions.
3. Carnitine product variety. The low-price promotions of Acetyl L Carnitine Powder and Carnitine Base bulk powder are still in full swing. The supplier has sufficient quantity and a favorable price.
4. Creatine Mono powder is an inexpensive and effective sports ingredient powder. Creatine Monohydrate Powder 99% is a classic among creatine products. There are currently two sizes: 200mesh and 80mesh. Among them, 200mesh is presently very popular in the United States. The stock of creatine monohydrate powder is mainly in the California warehouse.
5. The coming winter will lead to rising energy and food costs and global resource shortages. This situation is especially obvious in Europe. And the problem could be further complicated if gas rationing is in place in Europe due to reduced or no gas supply from Russia. Factories may have to close as a result. Nutri Avenue, at this moment, advises our dear customers to meet their needs in the last quarter of 2022 and 2023 as soon as possible through reliable suppliers. We have a large buffer stock in the US and can guarantee delivery with a stable supply chain department.
