3. Carbon black market impact analysis
1. Upstream raw materials: The coal tar market, the raw material for carbon black, is currently in a downturn. The commercial and investment atmosphere on the market is light. Deep processing enterprises continue to lose money. The upward trend of coal tar lacks motivation, which provides weak support for carbon black;2. The downstream demand side has recently taken goods to reduce the price. We will continue to wait and see;3. The maintenance plan for Shandong and Shanxi, the main supply producing areas, has ended, and the construction of other areas continues to be stable, with no obvious impact.
The carbon black market is currently temporarily affected by negative factors of raw material coal tar, and the market situation tends to be weak.
4. market outlook
At present, due to the temporary instability of the upstream coke at the raw material end, the losses of downstream deep processing enterprises are difficult to change. The overall trend of the coal tar market is still weak, which provides poor support for the carbon black cost end; the downstream demand side has recently purchased more mainly because of the demand, and new orders have been pressed down. The price is serious. The negative factors in the carbon black market have not diminished in the near future, and prices may fluctuate downward.
