Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei: Starting from August 20, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region will simultaneously start 15-day environmental protection control, that is, cement clinker kilns will be shut down, and mixing stations and construction sites will be 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.
Shanxi, Inner Mongolia: This week, the concrete market in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi showed a trend of differentiation: the stable price of cement in Inner Mongolia led to the overall stability of the concrete market, the supply and demand relationship was relatively balanced, and the price fluctuation was small. Recently, the concrete market in Shanxi has been in a dilemma of price chaos and coexistence of high and low prices. In order to alleviate the financial pressure, some enterprises have adopted the strategy of dumping at low prices, which has aggravated the imbalance of market competition.
