The full operation of Ningxia Xingertai's calcium carbide equipment has led to a significant increase in production, resulting in a noticeable rise in supply. The ex-factory quoted price is 2,430 yuan/ton, but actual transaction prices are negotiable, and a small quantity of crushed calcium carbide is being sold externally, indicating weak market demand and enhanced buyer bargaining power. The risk of oversupply is increasing, posing a moderate bearish impact on the spot price of calcium carbide. It is expected that prices may face downward pressure.
