Carbon Black Market Impact Analysis

1. Upstream Raw Materials: Coal tar oil prices in Shandong region at 5,450 yuan/ton; Shanxi region at 5,600 yuan/ton; Hebei region at 5,550 yuan/ton. The domestic high-temperature coal tar market is temporarily holding prices steady. While there is room for upward movement in the short term, the magnitude is limited.

2. Carbon Black Supply: The operating rate of sample enterprises in the domestic carbon black market has increased. During the National Day holiday, some large manufacturers reduced their operating loads due to declining downstream operations. After the holiday, large manufacturers raised their operating loads, but maintenance at some enterprises in Shandong and Shanxi also limited the improvement in industry operating rates. Overall, the carbon black industry operating rate is trending upward.

3. Downstream Demand: According to reports, some enterprises' operating rate increases are constrained, as high raw material prices suppress tire enterprises' production intensity. A few large enterprises maintain acceptable operating conditions, with average finished product inventories, ensuring order delivery and routine product supply.

Market Outlook

The negotiation atmosphere for new orders in the domestic carbon black market is moderate, with a relatively flat trading pace. From the cost side, the new tender for coal tar oil has not yet been released, so the cost side has not formed clear guidance, and market wait-and-see sentiment persists. From the demand side, current downstream rigid demand remains strong, continuously supporting the raw material market trend and providing some support for the carbon black market. Against this backdrop, new order negotiations in the market are expected to remain stable in the near term, with prices likely to hold steady.
