After the shock in the early stage, the current trend of graphite electrode market is mainly stable operation. According to the survey of steel source protection platform φ Taking 450 ultra-high power graphite electrode as an example, the mainstream ex factory quotation including tax is basically stable between 19500-20500 yuan / ton.
At present, the positive and negative factors in the graphite electrode market are intertwined, which plays a check and balance role in the whole market. Firstly, the price of low sulfur petroleum coke at the raw material end has risen, and the prices of needle coke and coal tar pitch are high. In addition, the graphitization processing cost has increased recently, and the production cost of graphite electrode has increased simultaneously. The on-site inventory performance was low, but the overall inventory pressure was not great. The cost side is actually good.
In terms of downstream steel enterprises, the operating rate of electric furnace steel plants is not low, the rigid demand for graphite electrodes still exists, some steel plants still have inventory, the enthusiasm for procurement in the short term is not high, and there is a price reduction behavior. With the implementation of crude steel reduction policy, the demand for graphite electrode may be reduced, and negative factors appear.
On the whole, the trading of graphite electrode market is good, and the downstream just needs to continue to follow up. Although there is a boost from the cost side, the positive and negative factors contribute at the same time, and the graphite electrode market may continue to operate smoothly in the short term.
