Today's anthracene oil market transaction center is low. The high-temperature coal tar market is operating in a weak manner, which is detrimental to the cost of anthracene oil; the downstream carbon black market is weak, and there are many purchases of raw material anthracene oil at bargain prices, with limited actual transactions; the downstream deep processing enterprises have started operating less than 50% of the operations, and the terminal needs limited support.
