The regional market demand in Yunnan and Guizhou continues to be depressed, and the imbalance between supply and demand is more prominent. The clinker production lines of some cement enterprises have been shut down for a long time, resulting in the continuous high inventory of raw materials. Despite the recent slight rise in cement prices in various regions, the overall pressure on the market has not changed, and the price of concrete market has remained stable. Based on the current market supply and demand pattern and cost transmission mechanism, it is expected that there will be a slight upward space for concrete prices in the later period.

From August 12 to 15, cement enterprises in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai completed a new round of general increase: Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou took the lead in raising the high grade by 30 yuan/ton, followed by Shanghai, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou and Shaoxing. However, due to the impact of high temperature and typhoon, the terminal demand is still weak, the shipment of concrete is hovering at a low level, and the implementation results are doubtful. If the acceptance of downstream projects is insufficient in the coming week, or the construction recovery after the typhoon is not as expected, the market will return to the open and dark stability, and the cost of concrete will be difficult to obtain substantial support.

Since August 20, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has started 15 days of environmental protection control simultaneously, that is, the cement clinker kiln has been shut down, and the mixing station and construction site have been partially shut down. Supply and demand contracted synchronously, and the mainstream quotations of cement and concrete maintained a weak and stable level in the early stage, with no short-term upward and downward momentum. At present, cement enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei intend to push up the prices of clinker and cement, but the specific follow-up trend will not be clear until the end of the kiln shutdown and the restart of demand.
