At present, the calcium carbide market in Shaanxi is steadily advancing in a wait-and-see trading atmosphere. As the mainstream ex-factory price of local first-class calcium carbide is between 3050-3280 yuan/ton, downstream producers are not so engaged in procurement now. In recent days, when calcium carbide enterprises have generally maintained a low operating load, some individuals have plans to reduce loads or shut down furnaces. However, boasting good sales thanks to an increasing volume of PVC-integrated carbide goods, those carbide manufacturers are immune to inventory pressure. In terms of the current situation, the carbide market in Shaanxi will be dominated by a wait and see sentiment.
