Highlights at a glance
The Carbon Black Index dropped to 6,046 on October 21, down 64.5 points, driven by weak upstream coal tar markets and low sentiment. Prices in Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei range from 3,300–3,350 yuan/ton, with high-temperature coal tar activity subdued. Carbon black production loads declined as plants in Shandong and Hebei underwent maintenance, while others operated at low capacity. Downstream tire manufacturers maintained stable output with no significant order growth; some price hikes led to slower shipments and slightly higher inventories. Market demand remains soft, with average sales performance. Looking ahead, weak new orders and bearish downstream sentiment are expected to keep the market consolidating at low levels.
