03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices are 3600 yuan/ton in Shandong; 3600 yuan/ton in Shanxi; and 3650 yuan/ton in Hebei. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is weak and wait-and-see.
2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black plant operating rates have declined. Due to major domestic events, some major plants in Shandong, Shanxi, and Jiangxi have reduced operating rates. Overall, the overall operating rate of the carbon black market has declined.
3. Downstream Demand: Most companies are operating normally, with output recovering week-over-week. Overall shipments have not seen significant improvement, and inventories have increased slightly. Currently, most companies are continuing with their earlier production control measures. As the month progresses, downstream distributors are expected to increase their enthusiasm for purchasing goods, which will alleviate some inventory pressure.
April Market Forecast
Currently, negative factors in the high-temperature coal tar market are relatively dominant, making a short-term upward trend difficult. A weak wait-and-see sentiment is likely to prevail. The cost side of the market is negatively impacting the market, but the carbon black market is experiencing significant losses. New order quotations remain stable, trading sentiment has subsided, and downstream inquiries and orders have declined. This has led to a backlog in the carbon black market, with new orders remaining mostly stable.
