The downstream market fell slightly, and the calcium carbide market may fall in a narrow range

In the middle and early ten days of August, the market of calcium carbide mainly fell in a narrow range.

In the future, it is predicted that the price of calcium carbide in Northwest China may fall in a narrow range in the middle and early August.
