03 Analysis of the impact of carbon black market
1. Upstream raw materials: coal tar price in Shandong is 3350 yuan/ton; coal tar price in Shanxi is 3350 yuan/ton; coal tar price in Hebei is 3350 yuan/ton. The market will still focus on digesting negative factors, so there is still a narrow downward space for prices.
2. Carbon black supply: The operating load of carbon black enterprises in the main production areas has increased slightly. The increase in orders for some enterprises in Shanxi has increased the operating rate. Shandong and Hebei regions have mostly maintained the previous load. As the carbon black market is operating at a loss, the industry is not very enthusiastic about starting.
3. Downstream demand: It is understood that the overall shipment of enterprises is still under pressure. The finished product inventory of sample tire enterprises in Shandong has increased month-on-month. In order to relieve the pressure, some enterprises have short-term maintenance plans at the end of the month and the beginning of the next month. Among them, the number of maintenance of semi-steel tire enterprises is greater than that of full-steel tires.
04 Market Forecast
So far, the new orders in the domestic carbon black market have been weak, and the raw material coal tar market has not yet been supported. The cost side still maintains a relatively weak state, and coal tar is still expected to decline in the future, and the negative factors are obvious; the pressure of carbon black actual order negotiation has increased, and the downstream is more cautious in receiving goods.
The subsequent start-up of tire enterprises is also expected to decline. There are negative effects on the demand and raw material side of the carbon black market, so the subsequent market weakness is difficult to change, and the price of carbon black may continue to fall.
