Carbon black market analysis on December 13

1. Carbon black market analysis

Today, the price of carbon black in China is stable. As of now, the mainstream price of N330 in the carbon black market is 8,000 - 9,000 yuan/ton.

Cost: Today, China's high-temperature coal tar market prices are operating smoothly. Negative factors in the coal tar market still occupy the top. In the absence of support from rigid downstream demand, coal tar recovery is weak, and the cost of carbon black is not well supported in the short term.

Supply: Affected by environmental factors, some carbon black enterprises in Shandong, Shanxi and other places have limited starting operations.

On the demand side: Semi-steel tire companies have maintained a high level of start-up, foreign trade orders are relatively sufficient, shortages of some models of tires still exist, and some companies have plans to increase production.

The market trading atmosphere is relatively deserted, and the carbon black market is expected to operate steadily in the short term.
