Calcium carbide: price rises three times after the festival, and market trading is hot

Today, prices in some regions of the domestic calcium carbide market still rose slightly. The calcium carbide market in Ningxia has a stable trend, with individual enterprises' production and delivery relatively smooth, and the quotation has been adjusted slightly. Affected by public health events, Wuhai region is in a tight supply of goods, and the market inflation atmosphere remains highly enthusiastic. The transaction focus in Henan was temporarily stable today, and the market trading atmosphere was active. The cost end coke price rose again today, and the production pressure of calcium carbide enterprises doubled. As of today, the receiving price of calcium carbide is 4190-4200 yuan/ton in Hebei, 4000 yuan/ton in Henan, 4180-4340 yuan/ton in Shandong, 4270-4330 yuan/ton in Northeast, 4100 yuan/ton in Sichuan, 3700-3750 yuan/ton in Shanxi, and 3920-4020 yuan/ton in Fugu/Inner Mongolia.

After the festival, the calcium carbide market price has been rising continuously. During the festival, the chlor alkali plant in northwest China maintained a high operating load as a whole, while the calcium carbide price hovered at a low level for a long time, the manufacturers were not enthusiastic about production, the downstream procurement was more active, and some enterprises with smooth shipment flexibly raised their prices. At this stage, the cost pressure of calcium carbide manufacturers still exists at this stage. The starting load of calcium carbide plants in the main production areas in the northwest remains low. The number of PVC enterprises in Henan, Hebei, Northeast and other regions in the downstream has decreased, the demand has recovered, and the purchasing attitude is positive. The price rise of the semi coke market again brings more cost support to the carbide market. It is expected that the carbide market price will still have room to rise in the short term.
