【行情】节前最后一周 煤焦油稳中偏强运行

Group 1: Coal Tar Supply and Demand - This week, coal tar prices have shown a stable to slightly strong trend, ending the previous decline. Some downstream deep processing enterprises still have a strong demand for stocking, with auction prices in Linhuan rising by 55 yuan, boosting market confidence. Afternoon auction prices in Shandong and Hebei increased by 10 yuan [3][7][6]. Group 2: Carbon Black Supply and Demand - As the year-end approaches, logistics are gradually halting, and downstream full-steel tire enterprises have started their holidays, leading to a decline in the overall operating rate of the tire industry. Other rubber product enterprises have also completed their stocking and entered the holiday period. Currently, the purchasing demand from carbon black factories has weakened, with most executing previous orders and new transactions gradually ceasing [3][7][6]. - The current inventory levels of major carbon black manufacturers are not high, and there is no significant decline in production rates, with the operating rate remaining around 60%. Downstream enterprises had been actively stocking earlier, and many carbon black factories still have pending orders to fulfill. Some large manufacturers are also responsible for winter heating tasks [5][9].
