Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis

1. Upstream raw materials: Coal tar prices in Shandong region were 5,510 yuan/ton; Shanxi region 5,550 yuan/ton; Hebei region 5,550 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market showed a strong wait-and-see sentiment. Under long-short interplay, coal tar prices faced a dilemma with limited expected volatility.

2. Carbon black supply: The operating rate of sample enterprises in the domestic carbon black market rose narrowly. Post-holiday, restarted factories gradually increased operating rates. Approaching the heating season, some large manufacturers conducted line-by-line rotational maintenance before ensuring supply guarantees. Some southern manufacturers maintained low operating rates. Overall, the carbon black market operating rate increased slightly.

3. Downstream demand: Some enterprises showed mediocre production enthusiasm. Due to persistently high raw material prices, industry operating rates fell short of the same period last year. A few mid-to-large enterprises maintained acceptable operating conditions but experienced incomplete product specification coverage.

Market Outlook

New order transactions in the domestic carbon black market remained weak, with a sluggish trading atmosphere. On the supply side, coal tar market new orders have not yet been released, currently in a dilemma with limited cost-side driving force and lacking clear direction for the carbon black market. On the demand side, downstream tire market operating rates were average, with weak terminal demand showing a clear price-suppression attitude toward the carbon black market. High-position transaction pressure remained significant, with buyers and sellers locked in a stalemate. Overall, under the dual pressure of insufficient cost support and demand-side price suppression, carbon black market new orders are likely to adjust downward.
