According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, on October 15, leading enterprises in Nanchang, Shangrao, Jingdezhen, Yichun, Ganzhou and other regions of Jiangxi notified an increase in cement prices by 20 yuan per ton. What is the specific implementation? China Cement Network has exchanged with some cement enterprises in Jiangxi. A large cement enterprise
in Jiangxi said that the implementation of this round of price increases was better. The manufacturer disclosed that this round of price increases mainly took into account the rising price of coal and the rising cost of cement.
"At present, the price of coal entering the factory is about 1200 yuan/ton to 1300 yuan/ton, which is much higher than that in early September." A cement manufacturer in Jiangxi told China Cement Network.
Coal is the main fuel in the process of cement production, and its cost accounts for 50% ~ 55% of the cost of cement clinker . The fluctuation of coal price has a direct impact on the cost of cement. On the
demand side, since the "Golden Nine Silver Ten", the construction sites in Jiangxi have seized the golden period of construction, and the construction situation is better, and the demand for cement has improved compared with August. The rise in
coal prices and the recovery of cement demand have jointly contributed to the price increase.
In response to the follow-up market, the head of a cement enterprise in Jiangxi told China Cement Network that the market demand will continue to recover weakly in the fourth quarter, and the market is expected to run smoothly.
