The market price of the upstream blue charcoal market was low, and the price of the downstream PVC market fell slightly. At the end of this week, the price of Shenmu charcoal was around 1300-1500 yuan/ton, and the cost support was insufficient. The market price of PVC fell from 6313.33 yuan/ton at the beginning of the week to 6251.67 yuan/ton at the end of the week, down 0.98%. The year-on-year decline was 28.39%. The PVC market price fell slightly, the enthusiasm of downstream customers for calcium carbide procurement weakened, and the downstream PVC market had a negative impact on the price of calcium carbide.
Calcium carbide may fall in the aftermarket
In the middle and early days of March, the carbide market may fall in a narrow range. The price of raw material blue charcoal is low, the cost support is insufficient, the downstream PVC market is slightly fluctuating, and the downstream demand is weakened. In the middle and early March, the price of calcium carbide in the northwest region may fall in a narrow range, mainly through consolidation.
