3. Carbon black index analysis
According to Tu Duoduo's data, the carbon black price index on July 17 was 7,758.75, which was the same as the previous working day.
4. market outlook
In the short term, downstream deep processing and carbon black companies remain depressed. The coal tar market is operating in a weak position and has weak support for carbon black costs. Some downstream tire companies have sufficient inventories and are generally enthusiastic about purchasing in the market. They just need to replenish goods, and there is no obvious benefit on the demand side. Multiple negative factors are combined, and the carbon black market is expected to operate weakly in the short term.
