The market price of raw coal tar has recovered after falling, and support for the cost of anthracene oil has become stronger in the later period; the high levels of new orders in the carbon black market have shown a correction, which has resistance to raw materials; the operating rate of anthracene oil hydrogenation companies has declined, and the receiving of anthracene oil is obviously not as good as before; the losses of downstream deep processing companies have eased, and the operating rate of companies has rebounded, but terminal demand is still weak, and most purchases are mainly based on just demand. There is limited room for price hikes in the anthracene oil market, and there is great pressure for high-level negotiations, and new orders follow suit in a narrow range.
