At present, in the context of stable trend of calcium carbide market in Shandong, the mainstream transaction prices remain at the previous level. At the current stage, as the mainstream delivery price of primary calcium carbide purchased by chlor-alkali enterprises in the region is mostly between 3470 and 4540 yuan/ton, a lower delivery price is around 3430 yuan/ton. According to analysis, there is a steady stream of carbide goods delivered to the region. During the peak season of PVC equipment maintenance, the operating rate of chlor-alkali plants has decreased when some PVC producers keep a large stockpile of goods in trucks. As these downstream customers make purchase just in need, carbide manufacturers lack favorable support, resulting in a stalemate in market performance. It is expected that there will be no significant improvement in the calcium carbide market in Shandong in the short term.
