On August 22, the National Concrete Price Index (CEMPI) closed at 93.03 points, down 0.39% annually and 18.51% year-on-year.
The national concrete market continues to be weak and stable. Due to the triple blow of high temperature and rain, high inventory and low demand, the imbalance between supply and demand in the northern market was prominent, the shipment volume of enterprises was low, and the quotation continued to be weak and stable. In East China, the enforcement of kiln shutdown was strengthened, and the cost of cement began to be re-priced, but the demand was difficult to support the price increase of concrete enterprises, so the quotation of commercial concrete was temporarily stable. The cost of the central and southern and southwest markets is generally low, although the price of cement in some markets has been pushed up, the competition is fierce, and the quotation of commercial mixing enterprises is stable and small.
