Rising in the north and falling in the south, deepening the differentiation pattern of the national cement market

On May 9, the National Cement Price Index (CEMPI) closed at 121.58 points, down 2.38% annually and up 12.75% year-on-year. On May 9, the Yangtze River Basin Cement Price Index (YRCEMPI) closed at 116.14 points, down 4.83% from the previous month.

The national cement market continued the pattern of differentiation, and some markets in the north rose against the trend under the support of regional coordinated kiln shutdown and supply contraction. On the other hand, in the southern market, prices in the Yangtze River Delta region of East China were under downward pressure; prices in the south-central and southwestern regions were affected by continuous rainfall and low demand, and prices fluctuated downward. Although local demand in Northwest China has rebounded, regional competition has intensified and the foundation for price stabilization is weak.

On May 9, the national clinker price index (CLKPI) closed at 121.76 points, down 2.34% from the previous month.
