According to the data monitored by the business agency, the domestic carbon black quotation was 10000 yuan / ton on April 15. Prices continued to run high this week.

In terms of raw materials, the current domestic high-temperature coal tar price continues to fluctuate at a high level. The market is affected by factors such as logistics and transportation, supply of coke enterprises and commencement load of deep processing, and regional supply and demand is unbalanced. Under the dual pressure of carbon black and raw coal tar transportation, the comprehensive cost of carbon black enterprises continues to rise and the price remains high.

On the demand side, the domestic market demand of the downstream tire market this week was flat. In the past March, the average operating load of all steel tires of tire enterprises in Shandong was estimated to be 58.55%, 34.21 percentage points higher than that of the previous month. The start-up of tire enterprises increased significantly, which stimulated the growth of carbon black demand.

On the whole, the overall operating load of the domestic carbon black industry continues to be low, superimposed with factors such as the difficulty of carbon black outward transportation, the maintenance of mainstream carbon black manufacturers and the increase of export orders. At present, the order delivery cycle of carbon black enterprises has been greatly extended.

It is comprehensively estimated that the carbon black market price may have room to fall from a high level, but there is still a certain bottom support for the carbon black price under the operation of high cost.
