03 Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices are 3,500 yuan/ton in Shandong; 3,520 yuan/ton in Shanxi; and 3,520 yuan/ton in Hebei. The overall commercial sentiment in the domestic high-temperature coal tar market has weakened, and stockpiling is unlikely to occur.
2. Carbon Black Supply: Carbon black plant operating rates remained stable, with some Shanxi and Shandong plants experiencing a slight increase in low-level operating rates. However, plants in Shandong remained under maintenance, resulting in limited fluctuations in operating rates during the week.
3. Downstream Demand: Overall plant operating rates remained stable, but tire plant shipments slowed slightly in the middle of the month compared to the first half of the month. Inventory reserves increased slightly, and some plants experienced some stock shortages.
April Market Forecast
As of now, raw material coal tar has stabilized, and costs are unlikely to see strong positive support. Furthermore, the downstream tire market is undergoing maintenance during the holiday period, resulting in low demand for goods. Meanwhile, downstream companies are also maintaining a strong demand-based replenishment strategy, resulting in limited trading volume. New orders in the carbon black market are primarily driven by stable shipments.
