03 Analysis of the Impact on the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 3810 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 3820 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 3810 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market still has some support from favorable factors, and the coal tar market still has some room for upward movement in the short term.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of sample enterprises in the domestic carbon black market increased slightly. Some large factories adjusted their production line maintenance, some small factories in Shandong shut down for maintenance, large factories in Shanxi and North China maintained normal operation, and East China maintained low-load operation.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that production at all-steel tire manufacturers undergoing maintenance is gradually resuming, which will have a certain positive impact on the overall operating rate of all-steel tires. However, in late May, pressure on domestic and international sales will further increase, and some tire manufacturers will still have production stoppages or restrictions, limiting the overall increase in production capacity.
04. Market Outlook
As of now, the price increase in the raw material coal tar market is gradually widening, which is favorable for market negotiations due to cost factors. Downstream buyers are wary of further price increases, but actual order increases have not yet materialized. The carbon black market also shows a willingness to raise new order prices. Therefore, the current market situation suggests that new orders in the carbon black market are likely to see some price increases.
