1. Petroleum Coke

Demand continues to support market conditions, with trading remaining relatively stable.

The main price averages 2133 yuan/ton, holding steady compared to the previous working day, while the regional average for locally refined petroleum coke is 1703 yuan/ton, up 17 yuan/ton from the previous day. Specifically, in the main market, Sinopec's high-sulfur coke shipments remain stable, with good trading, while in the low-sulfur market, PetroChina's Northeast and CNOOC's East China regions see stable shipments. Recently, the indicators for local refining have fluctuated frequently, with coke prices fluctuating within 200 yuan/ton, but overall, downstream demand remains supportive, and enterprises have no pressure on shipments. In ports, the situation is similar to that of refineries, with traders executing orders as usual. Overall, demand is still awaiting recovery, and short-term coke prices are expected to remain stable. 

2. Calcined Petroleum Coke

Today's coke prices remain stable, with steady shipments by enterprises.

The market continues the trends from last week, with prices holding steady at an average of 2805 yuan/ton, compared to the previous working day. Petroleum coke prices remain firm, with some fluctuations in response to market conditions, but short-term stability is expected. Mainstream carbon enterprises maintain stable production, with some operating at marginal profits and facing inventory pressure. In terms of demand, aluminum carbon remains relatively stable due to the delayed resumption of electrolytic aluminum production, while the demand for graphite electrodes from steel mills remains weak due to continued production issues. However, in the lithium battery sector, consumption from end-user automotive companies is increasing, leading to an increase in orders for battery manufacturers and an uptick in orders for negative electrode factories. Overall, with strong support from the cost side and demand maintaining essential purchases, short-term coke prices are expected to remain stable. Contact us for more information on the coke market.
