Weekly Review of Anthracene Oil 7.25

1. Analysis of Anthracene Oil Market

This week, the domestic anthracene oil market continued to decline. So far, the market price in Shandong is 4,150 - 4,250 yuan/ton, and the market price in Shanxi is 4,150 - 4,250 yuan/ton. The decline in the market price of raw material high-temperature coal tar has widened, which has poor support for the cost of anthracene oil, bringing a strong negative atmosphere; the quotations of downstream carbon black companies are relatively firm, and some areas have loosened, which has a certain negative impact on the anthracene oil market. The mentality is suppressed; the anthracene oil hydrogenation market remains weak and stable, and most of the purchases are mainly based on just needs; the downstream deep processing companies are still losing money, and the overall operating rate has declined. Regarding the receiving status of anthracene oil, negotiations on new orders are difficult, and the anthracene oil market is expected to operate in a weak manner in the short term.
