 June Calcined Petroleum Coke Price Forecast

Raw Material Side

Domestic petroleum coke supply remains relatively stable. The downstream carbon market is weak, and demand for petroleum coke is flat. With limited support on both the supply and demand sides, petroleum coke prices are expected to continue a weak trend in June, with some coke prices experiencing slight adjustments.

Supply and Demand Side

In June, the supply-demand imbalance in the low-sulfur calcined petroleum coke market is expected to remain significant. Demand improvement for medium- and high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke is likely to be limited. The overall market faces sales pressure, and production cuts by manufacturers are anticipated, leading to a decrease in overall supply.

Overall Outlook

Recently, low-sulfur petroleum coke prices have continued to decline. With weak support from the green coke market, prices are expected to continue to fall by the end of this month or next month. The demand side for calcined petroleum coke remains poor.
