Concrete Weekly Report: The demand of the national concrete market continues to be light, and the price is weak (6.8-6.12)

On June 8, the National Concrete Price Index (CEMPI) closed at 88.8 points, down 0.72% annually and 10.37% year-on-year.

This week, the overall demand of the national concrete market is light, and the price is weak. The demand in the northern region continued to be weak, the price of raw materials such as cement was running at a low level, and the cost support was obviously insufficient. Combined with the impact of busy farming, high school entrance examination and local rainy season, the construction progress slowed down, the shipment volume of concrete enterprises was low, and there was a dark drop in some areas, and the overall market was in a low consolidation pattern. Restricted by factors such as continuous rainy weather, busy farming season and capital collection pressure, the pace of construction in the southern region slowed down, and the demand showed seasonal weakening. Although the cement price in some regions tried to push up, the downstream demand was light, the cost transmission was blocked, the concrete quotation was stable and loose, the actual transaction center moved down, and the regional differentiation was more obvious. Overall, the national concrete market will remain weak in the short term.
