At present, as the trading atmosphere in the calcium carbide market in Shandong is dominated by a wait-and-see sentiment, most average transaction prices maintain the previous level, with a slight increase in the average procurement price of calcium carbide among some downstream PVC manufacturers. Due to the recent decrease in supply from some calcium carbide manufacturers and the impact of snowfall on logistics, the local delivery situation is not as good as in the early stage, which drives active purchase from downstream users. In terms of the current situation, it cannot be ruled out that there is still a possibility of further rise in the local calcium carbide market.
