03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis

1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong are 3430 yuan/ton; 3410 yuan/ton in Shanxi; and 3455 yuan/ton in Hebei. The high-temperature coal tar market remains stable, and the market still lacks significant upward momentum.

2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black companies are operating at higher capacity. A major plant in Shandong is gradually resuming operations, while companies in other regions are operating at lower capacity. The resumption of operations by some companies has boosted carbon black production rates during the week, while some companies plan maintenance during or after the holiday, thus temporarily maintaining their production capacity.

3. Downstream Demand: Most tire companies have resumed normal production, replenishing previous inventory shortages. Following the holiday, with improved weather, shipments from some tire companies in Shandong are slightly better than at the beginning of the month. However, due to limited market interest in taking delivery, overall growth is limited, and shipment performance varies among companies.

04 Market Forecast

Currently, new order negotiations in the carbon black market are weak, and the raw material market is facing increasing difficulties in rising prices, with most companies maintaining stable consolidation. Downstream bid prices are low, but industry players are still awaiting the release of raw material market prices. The emergence of low on-site prices has a significant negative impact, significantly affecting carbon black market negotiations. In the short term, the carbon black market will remain at a low level.
