Graphite electrode prices continue to rise

Graphite electrode: the price of graphite electrode increased this week, and the market has a strong atmosphere of pushing up. Under the influence of power and production restriction, the start-up of electrode enterprises is weakened, the graphitization capacity is also affected and reduced again, the release of enterprise output is limited, and the market supply may be reduced in the later period. At present, the spot market is mostly pre-production of raw materials. On the one hand, the raw material cost in the early stage is relatively low compared to the present; on the other hand, due to the poor demand in the early stage, some enterprises have reduced production so that the current electrode supply is not much. Therefore, at present, the supply in the electrode market is slightly tight, some enterprises have no spot at present, and the enterprises are reluctant to sell. From the beginning of this month to now, the raw material petroleum coke market has increased significantly. The price of mainstream refineries has increased by 600-800 yuan/ton. Affected by raw materials and supply, the new single price of coal asphalt has also continued to rise. The needle coke quotation has also increased under the pressure of cost, in addition the graphitization processing cost has risen. With the sharp increase of cost, the graphite electrode market ushered in a comprehensive increase, to contact us for the latest price news.
