03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong are 3,450 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 3,580 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 3,460 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market remains on the sidelines, with new orders still primarily coming from the southwest region.
2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black plant operators in major producing areas are experiencing a slight increase in operating rates, pushing up carbon black market prices. Previously low-priced orders are being delivered, and with rising raw material prices, expectations of future price increases are also growing. This has increased manufacturers' enthusiasm for production, with some in Hebei and Shanxi provinces increasing their operating rates. This has boosted the overall market operating rate.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that some semi-steel and full-steel tire manufacturers are still entering the final stages of production and will gradually halt operations in the near future. An increasing number of companies are undergoing maintenance, further dragging down the overall operating rate. At the end of the month, domestic and foreign shipments are relatively concentrated, which to some extent is beneficial for reducing finished product inventory.
04 Market Forecast
Currently, the raw material coal tar market is showing a price-supporting trend, with favorable cost sentiment. Some major manufacturers still expect prices to rise. New orders are currently under negotiation, but achieving price increases on actual orders is becoming increasingly difficult. The pricing of new tire orders is currently underway, with upstream and downstream negotiations playing out. We will continue to monitor the new tender prices for raw material coal tar for guidance. In the short term, new order quotations in the domestic carbon black market remain high.
