News summary
Longzhong reported broadly steady new-order discussions for carbon black in Shandong on 5 November, with trading still constrained by cautious purchasing and cost pressures.
News details
Tax-inclusive delivered quotations in Shandong were CNY 10,200–10,400 per tonne for N220, CNY 9,200–9,400 for N330, CNY 9,700–9,900 for N550 and CNY 9,200–9,400 for N660. These are Chinese domestic quotations under specified delivery terms, not Iranian prices, global benchmarks or FOB export offers.
The report describes an unremarkable trading atmosphere and ongoing negotiation over actual orders. Buyers should compare like-for-like grades, taxes, delivery conditions and product specifications. Rubber-grade N330 and N550 pricing cannot be assumed to apply to micronized black pigments.
Analysis of this news
Stable indications do not necessarily signal a rebound in demand when buyers remain price-sensitive. Importers and manufacturers should track feedstock costs, freight, foreign exchange and technical specifications before drawing procurement conclusions.
