Calcium carbide price trend in 2008
The price of calcium carbide fluctuated little from January to August in 2018, and both rising and falling were small acts. Prices continued to rise from mid-August to the end of September, reaching the highest level since 2012. However, after entering October, the market did not have a breathing space, and it began a rapid and substantial price cut, and it retreated all the gains of the previous month in a month. By mid-November, the price of calcium carbide had fallen to the lowest level since 2018, and it fell back to pre-liberation. The sharp rise and fall of calcium carbide prices is mainly related to the game between market supply and demand. In the early stage, the calcium carbide was intensively repaired, but the PVC started high, the supply was tight, and it was hard to find a price, and the price continued to rise. Subsequently, in October, PVC began to be intensively repaired. The demand for calcium carbide in a single month was less than 60,000 tons. However, at this time, the start of the calcium carbide began to stabilize, and the imbalance between supply and demand was serious, so the price dropped rapidly.
