This week, the national cement market is running strongly in the game. Although prices are still repeated, industry confidence has gradually rebounded under the dual drive of the recovery of terminal demand and the active promotion of enterprises. Enterprises in East China have strong willingness to push up, and prices are running strongly, but due to the impact of rain weather, local actual transactions fluctuate slightly. Southwest China's regional trend is divided, and the project construction supports price stability, but in some areas, the price has fallen slightly due to the incomplete implementation of the previous price increase. The market in Northeast China is weak, and the price pushed up in the early stage has been adjusted back due to weak demand. Enterprises are about to brew a new round of push up, and the effect remains to be observed. The construction conditions in the central and southern regions are suitable, and the price is pushed up. Due to weak demand in North China, prices were slightly lowered.

On April 3, the national clinker price index (CLKPI) closed at 101.08 points, down 0.37 % from the previous month.
