This week (2022.10.31-2022.11.04), the mainstream ex factory price and receiving price of Calcium Carbide were mainly adjusted below, and the production enterprises had poor delivery. The price of calcium carbide generally fell at the weekend, and this week continued the trend of decline at the weekend to maintain a weak operation, with the price dropping frequently.First of all, some upstream manufacturers resumed operation of their devices, and the manufacturer's inventory pressure increased. Some manufacturers lowered their ex factory quotations to promote shipment and reduce inventory; Secondly, the downstream PVC in some areas has entered the maintenance stage. Some devices of BDO enterprise have been stopped for maintenance or agent replacement. The downstream demand has shown a decreasing trend as a whole, which has a certain price depressing behavior for calcium carbide enterprises. The main downstream PVC has different purchase prices for calcium carbide. The traders reduced the market price to facilitate the transaction.
At present, from the perspective of calcium carbide market fundamentals, the market price may still have a downward trend. From the perspective of supply, the starting of calcium carbide manufacturers in some regions has increased to a certain extent, and the manufacturer's inventory has increased; From the perspective of demand, both downstream PVC and BDO enterprises' devices have been overhauled. At present, the downstream market is entering the slack season of demand, and the purchasing enthusiasm is not high. Although the downstream PVC market has reversed in the week, it has not played a significant role in supporting the calcium carbide market as far as the current situation is concerned. The PVC market trend may have a certain impact on the calcium carbide market in the later stage, so it is necessary to pay attention to the PVC market trend. The semicoke market on the raw material side stabilized after a short fall, which generally supported the cost side of calcium carbide. In the current situation, the blocked raw material transportation is the biggest obstacle to the market. On the whole, the supply and demand of calcium carbide market are weak at present, the upstream shipment and transportation continue to be under pressure, the regional arrival of goods in the downstream is uneven, and the demand is expected to decrease. Under the contradiction between supply and demand in the market, it is expected that the short-term calcium carbide price will continue to decline, and it is necessary to pay attention to whether the PVC market will continue to maintain the upward trend.
