Analysis of Anthracene Oil Market on January 15

1. Anthracene Oil Index Analysis 

According to Tuduo data, the anthracene oil price index on January 15 was 3,906.25, which was unchanged from the previous working day.

At the beginning of the week, China's anthracene oil market was running at a high price. As of now, the mainstream price of anthracene oil in Shandong is 4,050 - 4,150 yuan/ton. There are not many discussions on new orders in the anthracene oil market in Shandong. The raw coal tar market has basically hit bottom, and the cost side is good for offers. However, the carbon black market has limited receipt volume, and the on-site offer prices are stable; there are no new orders in the anthracene oil market in Hebei. Negotiations on orders are strong, and there is currently a lack of real orders. Deep processing companies intend to increase prices, but the bargaining mentality of the terminal carbon black industry has intensified, and short-term market consolidation is the main focus.

3. market outlook

There were fewer new orders in the anthracene oil market today. The low market price of high-temperature coal tar provides poor support for the cost of anthracene oil; the downstream carbon black market only maintains just demand when entering the market, and the attitude of bidding and lowering prices is strong; the operating rate of downstream deep processing enterprises remains low, and the demand side is weak and difficult to change. It is expected that the anthracene oil market will operate in a weak manner in the short term.
