Domestic ultra-high power graphite electrode price increased slightly

Recently, the price of ultra-high power graphite electrode in China is relatively strong, with 450 price of 17,500-18,000 yuan/ton, 500 price of 18,500-19,000 yuan/ton and 21,000-22,000 yuan/ton. The market transaction is acceptable. In the past week, the price of domestic ultra-high power graphite electrode began to rebound, with an increase of 500-1000 yuan/ton in most areas, and social inventory decreased.

In terms of raw materials, prices continued to rise and the cost side was under pressure. The low sulfur coke market was well traded, and the market inventory remained low. The monthly coke production of Jinxi Petrochemical increased by 600 yuan/ton year-on-year, and that of Daqing Petrochemical increased by 200 yuan/ton year-on-year. In recent three months, the increase has exceeded 1000 yuan, Jinxi Petrochemical has increased by 1300 yuan/ton, Daqing Petrochemical has increased by 1100 yuan/ton, and the raw material cost of graphite electrode manufacturers is under great pressure.

In terms of supply, the processing costs of graphite electrode roasting, graphitization and other processes have increased recently, and the production restriction in Inner Mongolia has been strengthened again. Under the influence of limited electricity policy and driven by the upward graphitization price of negative electrode materials, the graphitization price of graphite electrode continues to rise, and the pressure on the production cost of graphite electrode increases.

In terms of profit, at present, the profit margin is roughly estimated at 6.91% by φ500 ultra-high power graphite electrode in Jiangsu area, plus the costs of freight and interest discount, the manufacturer is basically in the operation of cost and low profit.

On the whole, the cost of domestic ultra-high power graphite electrode is high. In the short term, driven by the preparation of goods during the National Day holiday and the impact of production and power restriction policies on supply, the price of ultra-high power graphite electrode has increased slightly, to learn more graphite news contact us.
