The Economic Times reported on 8 October that reduced Russian supply is supporting expectations of higher carbon black selling prices. PCBL has also redirected some exports to its domestic market, partly because freight costs have been volatile.
Economic perspective
Editorial economic view: Iranian buyers should compare landed costs, settlement currency and delivery times alongside grade specifications. This report does not establish an Iranian spot price for N330 or N550. The source’s 25% increase refers to PCBL shares, not carbon black prices.
