The latest data shows that as of the week ending April 7, the total domestic asphalt social stockpiles across 104 warehouses amounted to 1.73M tons, a decrease of 0.1% week-on-week and an 8.5% decrease year-on-year. Notably, inventory reduction is especially evident in the Southwest region, primarily due to slow resource inflow from the Three Gorges Dam maintenance, but inventories have decreased under the support of urgent demand. The 54 sample asphalt plant warehouses domestically hold a total of 845k tons, an increase of 4.6% week-on-week and a decrease of 10.9% year-on-year. Particularly in North China and Shandong, plant warehouse stocks have increased significantly, mainly because the major local refineries are maintaining stable production, but downstream procurement enthusiasm remains weak.

Latest data show that for the week ending April 7, domestic asphalt inventories at 104 social storage facilities totaled 1.73M tons, down 0.1% month-over-month and down 8.5% year-over-year. In particular, inventory drawdowns were more evident in the Southwest region. This was mainly because resources entering the market were slow due to maintenance at the Three Gorges Dam, but under support from steady demand, inventories decreased somewhat. Domestic inventories at 54 asphalt sample plants totaled 845k tons, up 4.6% month-over-month and down 10.9% year-over-year. In particular, plant inventories increased noticeably in North China and Shandong. This was mainly because the region’s main refineries maintained stable production, but downstream purchasing activity was not strong. (Longzhong Information)
