In terms of local refineries, petroleum coke sales were generally average today, with prices mostly declining. Due to low downstream enthusiasm and cautious purchasing, some refineries faced delivery difficulties, leading to price cuts of 10–100 RMB/ton. A few refineries, supported by smooth sales and low inventory levels, raised prices slightly by 5–50 RMB/ton. Today, Xintai Petrochemical (South District) adjusted its petroleum coke sulfur content to 4.5%, with an offer price of 1,800 RMB/ton.
For imported coke, high-sulfur products dominated the market recently. Overall port-side activity remained weak, with traders actively shipping, but downstream carbon plants procured only as needed, making it difficult to push up import coke prices.
