Guangdong and Guangxi: The typhoon may enter the eastern Guangdong market around 13-14 days. At that time, the typhoon and rain weather may lead to short-term stagnation of building materials transportation and project construction, a significant decline in shipments of commercial concrete enterprises, and downward pressure on concrete quotations. In addition, due to the impact of falling cement costs and poor sand and gravel sales in Guangxi, some enterprises have reduced prices to maintain market share in order to withstand the pressure of market downturn. Overall, after the typhoon, the market may have a wave of demand repair peak, coupled with the approaching September, the market demand will improve to a certain extent, in the long run, the mixed price of Guangdong and Guangxi markets may be expected to tend to a favorable direction.
Two lakes: The concrete market in the two lakes region maintained a weak operation. Affected by periodic rainfall in some parts of Hubei, the demand fluctuated significantly, and the construction progress further slowed down. Affected by the high temperature weather in Hunan, the downstream operating rate is low, and the overall demand continues to be weak. Although the price of cement in the two lakes region has been pushed up this week, the cost of raw materials is still at a low level, the support for concrete is limited, the market competition is fierce, the quotation of enterprises is mainly stable, the price of some regions has been reduced in order to seize orders, and the overall market is low and volatile. At present, the mainstream of C30 non-pumping tax-inclusive price in Hunan and Hubei is maintained at about 240-270 yuan per square meter.
