Carbon Black market
At the beginning of the week, the price of coal tar in the upstream of the domestic carbon black market continued to be high, the carbon black enterprises operated at a loss, and the operators had a strong intention to increase the price. However, the commencement recovery of the downstream tire market was insufficient, the market demand was limited, and the carbon black operated stably temporarily.
Upstream, in this week, there were fewer auctions of new coal tar orders, the mentality of coke enterprises was strong under the low inventory, the overall market price remained high, and the delivery of orders last week was mainly implemented. At present, the cost of coal tar continues to be high, but the downstream deep-processing products are in general, the trend of industrial naphthalene is weak, the demand for coal asphalt is weak, and some deep-processing manufacturers return to the state of loss. In the future, the Winter Olympics has ended, some coke enterprises in the north will increase their production slightly, and the coal tar supply in the market may increase. However, considering that the starting load of deep processing enterprises may also increase after a long shutdown, it is comprehensively predicted that the domestic high-temperature coal tar high-temperature shock consolidation will be the main in the short term.
Downstream, the production capacity of the tire market was further restored this week, but there was still a gap between the overall operating load of tire enterprises and the normal level. The shipment of carbon black in the tire market was not fast, and the inventory of some carbon black manufacturers increased. In this case, the new order negotiation of tire enterprises was strong, and the pressure of carbon black manufacturers was high. The rubber products and Plastic Masterbatch industries in other industries have recovered well. After the Lantern Festival, the number of new orders in the venue increased significantly.
In terms of carbon black manufacturers, the overall operating load of the carbon black industry has not changed much at present, but affected by the shipping resistance of the downstream tire industry, some carbon black manufacturers have great inventory pressure. Under the shipping pressure, the prices of various factories rise and fall differently. According to the market feedback, the price of a state-owned enterprise carbon black factory in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province has risen. At present, the ex factory offer is 8000 yuan / ton, up 150 yuan; The inventory of a carbon black manufacturer in Dezhou, Shandong Province was large, and the price was reduced by 100 yuan compared with that before the festival.
To sum up, the current coal tar price is high, and the price rise sentiment is strong when the carbon black manufacturer operates at a loss. However, due to the demand of the downstream tire market, the performance of carbon black is temporarily stable. What is the trend of carbon black in the future? Carbon black industry network suggests to focus on observing the market supply and demand.
