On February 5th, all four calcium carbide units at Ningxia Xingertai were operating at full capacity, with an ex-factory quoted price of 2,680 yuan per ton. A small quantity of crushed calcium carbide was available for external sales, and actual transaction prices were negotiable. PriceSeek's analysis of calcium carbide, with a bullish-bearish rating of -1: Ningxia Xingertai Calcium Carbide Plant has all four units operating at full capacity, with an ex-factory quoted price of 2,680 yuan per ton. However, the availability of a small quantity of crushed calcium carbide for external sales and negotiable actual transaction prices indicate ample supply and weak demand, putting downward pressure on spot prices. Considering the current market supply and demand conditions, it is expected that spot prices for calcium carbide may experience a slight decline, thus warranting a generally bearish rating of -1.
