1. Carbon black market analysis

Today, the domestic carbon black market is operating smoothly. Prices in Hebei have increased by 100-200 yuan/ton compared with the previous day. Prices in most 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. In the short term, market prices will be stable and small.

Cost aspect:The price of carbon black raw material segment temporarily stabilized that day, and the market price of coal tar in most regions of my country has no upward trend. Due to the weak trend of coke, upstream coke enterprises showed a downward trend in starting operations; downstream demand-side deep processing enterprises suffered losses that were difficult to reverse, and the market was mainly negative, resulting in coal tar maintaining a downward trend and weak support on the cost side.

Supply:Some enterprises in Shandong and Shanxi have plans to increase the number of maintenance companies, while most of the rest of the enterprises have remained stable, and the number of carbon black sample enterprises has declined slightly.

Demand side:Recently, due to the low carbon black price, downstream companies have not been very motivated to buy goods. At the same time, affected by the mentality of "buy up but not buy down", they have been cautious in buying goods on the market, with few new orders sold, and their operations are mainly weak.

4. market outlook

In the short term, due to the weak operation of upstream coke and the continued losses of downstream deep processing enterprises, the coal tar market at the raw material end is undersupported; new orders in the downstream tire industry are low, and the overall situation is mainly weak. It is expected that the carbon black market will operate weakly and oscillates in the short term.
