This week, the national cement market as a whole presents the off-season characteristics of weak supply and demand and regional differentiation. The northern market has fully entered the winter break period, the demand in North China is low due to the impact of heavy pollution weather, the construction in Northeast and Northwest regions is basically completed, and the price is weak and stable; the southern market tries to push up but lacks momentum, the increase of clinker price in Yangtze River Delta has limited impact on the cement market, and the demand in Central South and Southwest regions is flat due to the impact of weather and environmental protection control. The increase of clinker price on the cost side forms a certain support, but the demand side continues to shrink with the approaching of the Spring Festival, the market as a whole is in a state of price without market, and the upward resistance of price is significant.
On January 16, the national clinker price index (CLKPI) closed at 109.92 points, down 0.45% from the previous month.
