According to the data monitored by the Business News Agency, the domestic carbon black quotation was 11600 yuan/ton on February 24. The domestic carbon black market price fell first and then rose this month, and the current shock is relatively strong.

Cost side: The current high price of high-temperature coal tar as raw material has been consolidated, continuing to rise. At present, the enthusiasm of coke enterprises to start construction is general, and the supply of coal tar market is still tight, showing a situation of tight supply and high price. Carbon black enterprises are under great pressure to receive goods, and most enterprises are in a loss situation. The resistance to coal tar is rising, but the willingness of coke enterprises to stand up is strong.

Supply and demand: At present, the operating rate of carbon black enterprises is stable and the market supply is sufficient.

In terms of downstream tire enterprises, the overall operating rate has increased, but there is still resistance to the current carbon black price, and the market trading atmosphere is general.

In general, the high price of high temperature coal tar as raw material supports the price of carbon black. At present, the increase of demand for carbon black by downstream tire enterprises is dominated by favorable factors in the market as a whole. It is comprehensively estimated that the carbon black market will operate in a relatively strong way in the short term, and the future will focus on the recovery of demand in the downstream.
