In some regions, the starting load is gradually increased with the improvement of the market after the festival. In some regions, the arrival of goods is tight due to the impact of transportation, and the downstream PVC enterprises are low for unloading. In terms of demand, the downstream has a rigid demand for calcium carbide, but due to its poor operation, its acceptance of high priced calcium carbide is limited. From the perspective of cost, the price of semicoke is relatively stable, and the coal price is supported by the cost of semicoke, which is also supported by the high cost of calcium carbide enterprises. With the increasing enthusiasm of calcium carbide enterprises to start construction and the easing of road transportation, it is expected that supply will continue to increase this week, and calcium carbide prices will remain stable.
