However, the current market is still in the off-season of high temperature and typhoon, the terminal demand has not been substantially improved, and the concrete shipment volume remains low, which leads to the pressure of price increase transmission. Although the cost side of concrete is temporarily supported by theory, the actual transaction still depends on the downstream acceptance.

Shandong: This week, the price of concrete market in Shandong continues to be weak and stable. Although the price of cement in the province has risen recently, the cost-side support has not yet been transmitted to the concrete market.
