03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis

1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices are 3,450 yuan/ton in Shandong; 3,400 yuan/ton in Shanxi; and 3,465 yuan/ton in Hebei. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is currently undergoing downward adjustments. With the continued decline in coal tar prices, the market is signaling a bottoming out.

2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black manufacturers' operating rates have declined. Some manufacturers in Shandong and Shanxi regions have suspended operations for maintenance, while those previously undergoing maintenance have not yet resumed operations, resulting in a decline in market operating rates during the week.

3. Downstream Demand: Most manufacturers undergoing maintenance have returned to normal levels. Semi-steel tire manufacturers have increased snow tire production, and some large-scale manufacturers have increased their operating rates. Due to the overall concentration of foreign trade and domestic sales, some domestic specifications are out of stock.

04 Market Forecast

So far, tire manufacturers have shown limited enthusiasm for accepting goods in upstream and downstream negotiations. The market still practices a first-ship, then-price pricing policy, which is causing difficulties in easing market pressure. There is a certain expectation of a rebound in the raw material market, which will benefit carbon black negotiations. Market fluctuations are limited, and the market is trading in a narrow range.
