The carbon black index stood at 7077.5 on June 1, unchanged from the previous day. Coal tar prices in key regions like Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei remain strong, supporting upward pressure on carbon black costs. However, despite high quotes, actual transactions are slow due to reduced downstream purchasing enthusiasm. Tire manufacturers face inventory buildup and declining shipments, prompting some to consider production cuts. While operating rates vary across regions—with maintenance ongoing at some facilities—overall supply remains steady. Looking ahead, cost support from raw materials will likely drive gradual price increases, though demand weakness poses a challenge.
