Carbon black market analysis on August 12

1. Carbon black market analysis

Today, the domestic carbon black market is operating weakly. Carbon black prices in Hebei have rebounded from the previous working day. Prices in other regions have remained stable. As of now, the mainstream price of N330 in the carbon black market is 7,400 - 8,400 yuan/ton.

Cost aspect:On that day, the high-temperature coal tar market in most areas of my country had no upward trend, and the price remained below 4,000 yuan. The recent loss situation of downstream deep processing enterprises is difficult to change. The downward trend at the on-site start-up site has weak support for coal tar, and the coal tar market is weak, which in turn has weak support for carbon black costs.

Supply:Some carbon black enterprises in the main producing areas have maintenance plans and continue to increase, and the trend of start-up in the carbon black market is weak.

Demand side:The recent start of construction by downstream companies has declined, with the overall trend being mainly weak, and the sentiment of price reduction remains unchanged. The market remains sluggish and weak.

The carbon black market has recently held prices on the sidelines, and prices are expected to stabilize temporarily in the short term.
