Coke enterprises limited production, coal tar continued to rise sharply, and the cost of carbon black rose again

Coal tar Market

This week, the start-up of coke enterprises is limited, the demand of downstream deep processing enterprises is supported, and the supply and demand of domestic high-temperature coal tar market is becoming tighter and tighter. The auction price of new orders in main Carbon Black producing areas such as Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei continues to rise sharply, and the mainstream is between 100-150 yuan. According to the market feedback, at present, the higher price to the factory has reached 5000 yuan / ton.

In November, the commencement of coking plant was limited, the heating season came, and the supply of coal tar market became increasingly tight. In the downstream, the high level of deep-processing products coal asphalt and industrial naphthalene is stable, and the deep-processing enterprises start actively under the profitable operation. Since late October, with the resumption of centralized maintenance manufacturers, the overall start-up load of deep-processing enterprises has increased significantly compared with the previous period, the demand for coal tar in the site has been increasing, and the market price of coal tar has been pushed up. According to the observation of carbon black industry network, at present, the inventory of coke enterprises is low, the production restriction of coking industry is difficult to slow down in the short term, and the price mentality of operators is firm.

The rising trend of coal tar has not decreased, and the cost pressure of carbon black enterprises is huge. According to the analysis, under the condition of such a high price of coal tar, according to the calculation standard of normal production cost, the average cost of carbon black may have exceeded 9000 yuan. Under the stable support of the downstream tire market, the carbon black industry holds optimistic expectations.
