Calcium carbide prices still have room to fall 　　

Supply of goods increases, downstream centralized maintenance cost support weakens

Recently, with the increase in maintenance of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) enterprises and the weakening of demand, the price of calcium carbide began to fall in a narrow ran.

Reduced need for centralized maintenance

80% of domestic calcium carbide consumption is in the PVC field, so PVC demand has a great impact on the calcium carbide mark.

According to the monitoring data of Longzhong Information, as of May 25, the PVC plants still under maintenance include Shandong Lutai Chemical .

At the same time, the real estate industry, which is the main consumption area of ​​PVC, is not prosperous at times, and the overall order reception of downstream product factories is not optimist.

"Under the influence of the centralized maintenance of the PVC industry and the weakening of raw material demand, the price of calcium carbide has been lowered from the high-end, and the price of some calcium carbide has dropped rapid.

Increased supply of goods in the market

"In the downstream PVC maintenance device, some PVC devices are pure external mining calcium carbide, so the procurement of calcium carbide is suspended during the maintenance peri.

In the case of downstream centralized maintenance, the daily consumption of calcium carbide decreased by nearly 8,000 tons when the impact was greatest in late May, which means that the daily supply of calcium carbide increased by 8,000 to.

"In addition to the increase in the supply of goods in the market due to the decrease in demand, the calcium carbide enterprises that have recently stopped production or temporarily lowered their operating load have gradually resumed driving, which is also the main reason for the increase in supp.

Data show that the average operating rate of the calcium carbide industry was less than 74% at the lowest point at the end of April, but it has risen to 712% on May 2

On the whole, the demand has decreased significantly and the supply of goods in the market has increased, resulting in a decline in the price of calcium carbi.

Electricity cost impact diminishes

The main cost of calcium carbide involves electricity and raw materials such as charcoal and li.

　　From the perspective of this year's policy, although there have been several warnings of power cuts in calcium carbide production, there has been no real landing or power cu.

　　It is understood that in the trial time-of-use electricity price of Mengxi Power Grid, it is stipulated that January to May is the strong wind season, and June to August is the light wind seas.

　　"However, due to the current rise in the price of raw material orchid carbon, calcium carbide is gradually approaching the cost line, so there is still a certain degree of caution when the downstream performance is not good and the calcium carbide market is beari.
