03 Analysis of the Impact on the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei regions were 4230 yuan/ton and 4250 yuan/ton respectively. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market continued its upward trend, but the overall trading atmosphere slightly declined, and the pressure to sell at high prices increased.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of sample carbon black enterprises gradually increased, some small and medium-sized enterprises resumed production, and large factories operated normally, leading to an increase in the market's operating rate.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that tire price increases are constantly being reported. To avoid the risk of high prices, distributors are moderately stocking up, and some enterprises are restricting purchases from distributors who have met their sales targets in order to reduce losses.
After the initial stockpiling period, social inventory has gradually reached a high level. In the short term, the market will primarily focus on channel sales and inventory digestion. Some customers who have not yet completed their purchase targets are still moderately stockpiling, which will continue to drive domestic market shipments to some extent.
04 Market Outlook
As of now, new order prices in the raw material coal tar market have increased, with cost factors influencing market sentiment. While new order prices in the carbon black market have risen, downstream acceptance is limited, resulting in low transaction volumes at high prices. Previous orders are still being fulfilled, and negotiations for actual transactions are stalled. New order price increases are uncertain, but the market is maintaining a firm price trend.
