According to the data monitored by the business club, the domestic carbon black quotation was 10375 yuan / ton on May 31.

From the cost side, this month, domestic high-temperature coal tar is still high, but the market performance is different in different regions. On the whole, the enthusiasm for procurement has decreased significantly. The domestic high-temperature coal tar new order auction is difficult to support, and the new order auction in some regions has a large decline.

On the demand side, the overall performance of downstream demand in the domestic carbon black market continued to be sluggish. Although the tire industry gradually recovered in May, there is still a gap compared with the normal situation. The overall operating load of the industry is low, and the tire manufacturers’ shipments are slow. The tire inventory is high. At the live broadcast conference of China Rubber Industry Association, authoritative data of the tire industry were released. According to the data of the association, from January to April, the production, sales and revenue profits of 10 key tire enterprises showed negative growth, and the inventory increased by 41.4%. Under the background that the comprehensive cost of carbon black enterprises has continued to rise this year, the overall operating load of the carbon black industry has increased compared with last month, and the price has generally increased, the current demand of tire enterprises is weak. There are few new carbon black orders for bidding this month, and most of the new orders are a small amount of replenishment. Tire enterprises also have a certain amount of carbon black inventory. At present, production is mainly based on digesting inventory, and downstream operators are cautious in carbon black procurement.

On the whole, the current domestic carbon black cost is still high, and the current carbon black price is at risk of falling down under the condition of sluggish demand and increased inventory. The future trend depends on the downstream demand.
