According to the data monitored by the business agency, the domestic carbon black quotation was 9975 yuan / ton on June 30, down 3.86% from the beginning of the month.

In terms of the operating rate, the overall operating rate of the carbon black market has been maintained at about 66% recently, and the logistics and transportation across the country are gradually smooth without other obstacles, which has improved the operation of carbon black manufacturers. However, due to weak downstream demand and limited enthusiasm for carbon black procurement, it is difficult for carbon black manufacturers to ship, and some manufacturers’ inventories are gradually high.

On the cost side, the auction price of raw coal tar has generally risen, causing further pressure on the cost of carbon black manufacturers. At present, the coke enterprises are operating stably, and the supply of coal tar in the market has not changed significantly, but the performance of downstream products continues to be poor.

On the demand side, the downstream tires in the domestic carbon black market operate at low load, the finished products of tire enterprises in the main market are shipped slowly, and the downstream performance of the tire market continues to be depressed. The inventory of tire enterprises is high, and the traditional off-season is coming. There is little bargaining on new orders in the venue, resulting in carbon black having no say in pricing. For tire factories, they can only implement the policy of shipping first and then pricing. Under the circumstances of high tire inventory and poor expectation of future market demand, some tire manufacturers continue to control production and reduce inventory.

On the whole, at present, the cost of carbon black in China has fallen, the demand for negative factors in the carbon black market is low, and the price of carbon black has shown a downward trend with the increase of inventory.
