1. Carbon black market analysis

At the beginning of the week, the price of carbon black in China was stable. As of now, the mainstream price of N330 in the carbon black market is 7,500 - 8,600 yuan/ton.

Cost: The price of high-temperature coal tar in China has temporarily stabilized today. The loss situation of deep processing enterprises is difficult to change. Recently, the number of enterprises that have been suspended for maintenance has increased. The coal tar supply situation in the field will be further relaxed. Downstream enterprises will mainly purchase on demand. The coal tar market will remain weak in the short term and will have weak support for carbon black costs.

Supply: Most carbon black companies started construction steadily today, and the overall operating rate of the carbon black industry fluctuated within a narrow range.

On the demand side: Raw material prices fluctuate endlessly. Some models of tires adopt certain sales policies. The current sales pressure in the tire market remains unchanged, and most of them are mainly to digest inventory.
