Affected by the environment in East China, demand has not improved, and prices in some areas have fallen this week.

China Cement Net Market Data Center News: Affected by the environment, demand has not yet improved, and prices in some areas have fallen this week (more mixed prices in East China)

Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai: the overall market is weak and stable. Recently, the market demand in Jiangsu has not improved substantially, the shipments of enterprises continue to be depressed, some manufacturers are facing greater sales pressure, and the price trend is weak. Zhejiang region is affected by the alternation of rain and high temperature weather, the market demand is basically stable, and the shipment volume of enterprises is stable between 6-7%. In order to alleviate the pressure of raw material inventory, some clinker production lines have implemented peak staggering and kiln shutdown measures. In the concrete market, concrete prices in Zhejiang declined slightly this week, while prices in other regions remained relatively stable. Overall, although the traditional off-season has come to an end, indicating that the "golden nine silver ten" peak season is approaching, the terminal market demand has not yet shown obvious signs of warming up. Anhui

region: With the reduction of rainy weather, some projects under construction have been able to resume construction, so the volume of concrete shipments has rebounded slightly. However, the problem of tight market funds still exists, and the demand for new projects in many places is insufficient, so it is expected that the concrete market will maintain a stable and weak operation situation in the later period.

Shandong: Also affected by multiple factors such as off-season market demand and capital shortage, except for a few key projects, new projects are generally in the doldrums, and the shipments of enterprises are not good. This week, concrete prices in all parts of Shandong showed signs

of decline. Fujian: affected by the recent continuous rain weather, the shipment volume of some mixing station enterprises declined, coupled with the failure to implement the raw material cement push up, the overall market was stable and weak. At present, the mainstream market price of C30 non-pump delivery including tax in the markets of southern Fujian, Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou is basically maintained at around

310-330 yuan/m3. Jiangxi: the price in Jiangxi is mainly temporarily stable, and the overall demand is weak. At present, the mainstream market price of C30 non-pumping tax is about

300-360 yuan per square meter.
