Chempricehub Analysis of Asphalt, Bull-Bear Score: -1 The article indicates that Shandong Dongfang Hualong Group's spot asphalt prices are relatively low, with 70#A quoted at 2,930 yuan/ton and 90#A at 3,030 yuan/ton. Modified asphalt prices range between 3,300 and 3,430 yuan/ton. The note "contracts temporarily not being fulfilled" suggests weak demand or supply constraints, exerting downward pressure on spot prices. Combined with petroleum asphalt futures data (e.g., the 2602 contract closing at 3,022 yuan/ton, down 22 yuan, with reduced open interest), short-term market sentiment is bearish, and futures prices are expected to face further downward pressure.
