Chempricehub's analysis of calcium carbide indicates a bearish score of -2. Inner Mongolia Dongyuan Technology's operation of five calcium carbide furnaces and the reduction in the quoted price for first-grade calcium carbide by 2,400 yuan per ton suggest that increased capacity utilization has led to oversupply and weak demand, putting significant downward pressure on spot prices.
