03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong are 3500 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 3470 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 3520 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is generally showing a slight upward trend, but the increase is limited.
2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black manufacturers are operating at higher rates. Factories in Shanxi that were previously undergoing maintenance have resumed operations, while some production lines in Shandong have not yet resumed maintenance. Some companies in Northwest China are still undergoing maintenance and are expected to resume operations after the holiday. Consequently, the carbon black market operating rate has increased.
3. Downstream Demand: Prices of tire raw materials such as synthetic rubber and carbon black have declined slightly, slightly weakening the cost support for tires. Currently, a few full-steel tire manufacturers have raised their pricing policies, slowing shipments. Most companies are maintaining their previous policies. Semi-steel tire manufacturers are still offering promotions to increase shipments, and some are increasing promotions for snow tires.
04 Market Forecast
So far, raw material prices have risen, which is favorable for negotiating sentiment. However, after some tire orders were signed, there was little willingness to accept the high market conditions. Due to the pressure from the demand side, the market has limited room for new orders to push prices higher, and some new orders have shown a narrow correction.
