According to the data monitored by the business agency, the price of domestic carbon black was 10300 yuan / ton on April 30. Affected by the rising cost of coal tar, the demand support of the tire industry, the impact of public events, poor transportation, the increase of export orders and other factors, the price of carbon black increased.

On the cost side, driven by the supply and demand of the domestic high-temperature coal tar market this month, the new order auction price rose again. The supply and demand of the domestic high-temperature coal tar market continued to be tight, superimposed with the influence of pre holiday stock factors, and the mainstream new order auction prices in Shandong, Shanxi, Anhui and other regions rose sharply.

In April, the overall operating rate of the carbon black market was maintained at about 54%. Affected by domestic public health events, the transportation in most areas was seriously blocked, the arrival time of raw materials was prolonged, the logistics freight rate increased and other factors increased the pressure on carbon black enterprises. The operation of most carbon black enterprises was limited. In addition, some carbon black enterprises stopped production for maintenance, dragging down the overall operation of the carbon black industry, and the industrial inventory was low. It is expected that this market will continue for some time. At present, the overall carbon black supply in the market is significantly better than that in March. There is no rush for goods in March, but the logistics transportation in the market is still blocked. Recently, with the sharp rise in the price of coal tar and the rising cost of carbon black, the mentality of carbon black enterprises is different, and the mainstream carbon black manufacturers are in a strong mood to push up; Some small carbon black manufacturers are relatively mild in the negotiation of new orders in the market, mainly waiting for orders to be received and shipped.

Downstream, the overall operating load of tire enterprises is stable. In April, although the operating rate of tire enterprises decreased compared with that in the early stage, the just needed support of tire enterprises still exists.

Business analysts believe that it is comprehensively expected that at present, the positive and negative factors in the domestic carbon black market are intertwined, and the carbon black market price may fall from a high level, but there is still a certain bottom support for the carbon black price under the operation of high cost. We should pay more attention to the overall market commencement and logistics transportation.
