03 Analysis of Factors Affecting the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 4430 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 4410 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 4450 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market remained largely in a wait-and-see mode, but lacking new positive catalysts, further price increases lacked significant momentum.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rates of sample carbon black enterprises gradually increased, with some small and medium-sized enterprises resuming production, and large factories operating normally, leading to an increase in the market's operating rate.
3. Downstream Demand: It is understood that most semi-steel tire manufacturers maintained high operating rates, with concentrated shipments before the holiday, resulting in continued shortages for some enterprises. Currently, enterprises are operating at high capacity to fill previous order gaps, but exports from some regions still face obstacles, and exports have slowed slightly. The shortage situation is expected to gradually improve. 04 Market Outlook
As of now, the high-temperature coal tar market remains largely in a wait-and-see mode. New order prices are fluctuating, with the market currently consolidating within a narrow range at high levels. Downstream tire buyers are showing reduced enthusiasm for purchasing, and the market is exhibiting a strong wait-and-see attitude. However, new order offers in the carbon black market remain high, with limited transaction volume and stagnant negotiations. The weakening cost support suggests that new orders may be expected to be weaker.
