Weekly Review of Anthracene Oil 8.22

1. Analysis of Anthracene Oil Market

China's anthracene oil market prices rose steadily this week. Up to now, the market price in Shandong is 4,050 - 4,150 yuan/ton, and the market price in Shanxi is 4,050 - 4,200 yuan/ton. This week, auction prices in the main producing areas of the high-temperature coal tar market rebounded. Recently, the market has shown certain positive factors. On the one hand, coke companies have increased their production restrictions, the supply of coal tar has decreased, and coke companies are reluctant to sell and explore the increase; on the other hand, Anthracene oil prices are eager to try, so there is some room for increase in coal tar prices. Some operators began to enter the market to inquire about goods, but the volume received was still mainly in demand. Although deep processing started not high, after the loss was large, the room for profit margins narrowed, and there were also high-priced shipments in the later period. It is expected that the decline in the anthracene oil market will stop and rebound.
