SunSirs: Poor Demand, Cement Market in East China Falls

According to the monitoring of SunSirs, recently, the rainfall in many parts of the country has increased sharply, and the cement market demand has continued to shrink, and the cement price has continued to fall. On July 1, the cement price in East China was 444.20 RMB/ ton, and on July 17 it was 418.00 RMB/ ton, a decrease of 5.90%. The current price was down 9.13% month on month, and the current price was 9.17% lower than last year.

Since July, with the arrival of Meiyu season, the cement market demand is low and the inventory is generally at a high level. Recently, the rain weather has further increased, and the downstream demand for cement has decreased sharply, and the cement market has continued to decline.

By regions, In Jiangsu province, with the arrival of the Meiyu season, the cement market demand is low and the inventory is generally at a high level. Recently, the rainy weather has further increased, and the downstream demand for cement has decreased sharply, and the cement market has continued to decline.

According to the prediction of SunSirs, it is still in the period of frequent rain in the near future, which is not conducive to the construction site and cement transportation. The cement demand continues to be weak, the inventory is at a high level, and the enthusiasm of downstream customers to pick up the goods is poor. Therefore, the cement product analysts of SunSirs believe that in a short period of time, the cement market will mainly fall below.
