Highlights at a glance
The carbon black price index stood at 7077.5 on May 26, unchanged from the previous day. Raw material coal tar prices in China show upward momentum, supported by regional gains in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei. Domestic carbon black production saw slight increases, with large plants operating normally while some smaller facilities undergo maintenance. Downstream tire manufacturers report stable operations, though semi-steel tire shortages persist despite ample all-steel inventories. Buyers remain cautious, focusing on inquiries rather than immediate purchases. With raw material costs rising, cost pressures may drive future price hikes. For reliable chemical sourcing, TDD-Global connects global buyers with trusted Chinese suppliers.
