At present, the calcium carbide market in Wuhai remains deadlocked, with the average transaction price maintaining the previous level. Despite a slight rebound in the local PVC price, these downstream manufacturers continue to depress the carbide quotes as they have not seen a rise in the sales volume. In addition, compounded by a fall in the calcium carbide market in the surrounding areas in the latter half of last week, the local calcium carbide market can hardly make a breakthrough in the short term.
