March 4th News: On March 4th, Hebei Shunkang's coconut shell activated carbon with an iodine value of 800 was quoted at 9,500 yuan/ton (including tax, ex-factory), with a price increase of 50 yuan/ton. Currently, due to limited raw material supply, the availability of coconut shell carbonized material remains tight. Chempricehub's analysis of activated carbon: Bullish-Bearish Score: +1. The article reports that Hebei Shunkang's coconut shell activated carbon with an iodine value of 800 has increased by 50 yuan/ton to 9,500 yuan/ton, primarily due to the ongoing tight supply of coconut shell carbonized material, leading to restricted raw material availability. This indicates reduced supply, driving up spot prices and constituting a positive influence. The score is +1 (moderately bullish), as the price increase is significant and supply issues may persist, but attention should be paid to potential risks of raw material relief in the future.
