03 Analysis of the Impact on the Carbon Black Market
1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong were 3450 yuan/ton; in Shanxi, 3350 yuan/ton; and in Hebei, 3360 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is mainly in a wait-and-see mode, with upward pressure appearing in the short term, resulting in a dilemma of whether prices will rise or fall.
2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of carbon black enterprises has decreased slightly. Plants in northern regions are operating at high levels, while the southern market remains at a low level. Overall, the operating rate of carbon black enterprises shows a slight downward trend.
3. Downstream Demand: Last week, most companies that had undergone maintenance resumed production as planned, and plant operations are gradually recovering. However, overall order performance was generally weak, and high operating rates were difficult to maintain. After some companies resumed production, overall levels were slightly lower than the previous month's normal levels. Other companies still had maintenance schedules. At the beginning of the month, the overall tire supply remained weak.
04. Market Outlook
As of now, the upside potential for raw material coal tar is limited, and cost-side pressures are weakening. The tire market has begun to see inquiries, but market sentiment is generally weak. Recently, the carbon black market has been operating at high levels, increasing supply pressure. High-level transactions are limited, and carbon black transactions are mostly maintaining stable negotiations.
