According to the data monitored by the Business News Agency, the domestic carbon black quotation was 11700 yuan/ton on March 13, and the domestic carbon black market price fluctuated slightly this week.

Cost side: the overall operation of domestic high-temperature coal tar market is weak this week, and the operation of downstream deep processing and carbon black enterprises is still at a loss, and the market transaction atmosphere is light; Due to the weak terminal demand, the downstream market continues to hold down prices, and the market has a lot of negative sentiment. At present, the mainstream price of high-temperature coal tar in the market is 5320 yuan/ton, and it is expected that the coal tar market will continue to be weak in the short term.

Supply and demand: At present, the operating rate of carbon black enterprises has declined, and some plants and devices have been overhauled. Later, the market supply may be reduced again. However, due to the weak price of raw materials, most downstream enterprises are short of carbon black aftermarket, and the supply and demand of carbon black market are weak,

In terms of downstream tire enterprises, the overall operating rate has increased, and the demand of downstream tire and rubber industries has remained stable, but there is still resistance to the current price of carbon black, and the trading atmosphere in the main market of just needed procurement is general.

On the whole, the price of raw material high-temperature coal tar has declined, the support of carbon black price has weakened, and the demand of downstream tire enterprises has remained stable. It is comprehensively estimated that the carbon black market will be stable and weak in the short term.
