The domestic graphite electrode market price has remained stable recently. China’s graphite electrode market prices remain stable, and the industry’s operating rate is 63.32%. Mainstream graphite electrode companies mainly produce ultra-high power and large specifications, and the supply of ultra-high power medium and small specifications in the graphite electrode market is still tight. Recently, some mainstream graphite electrode companies indicated that the raw material imported needle coke resources are too tight, the production of ultra-high-power large-size graphite electrodes is limited, and the supply of ultra-high-power large-size graphite electrodes is also expected to be tight. The price of low-sulfur petroleum coke has fallen recently, and the wait-and-see sentiment of the graphite electrode market has spread. However, the price of coal tar pitch has been rising strongly recently, and the price index of modified asphalt has reached 4755 yuan/ton; the supply of needle coke continues to be in a tightly balanced state, and there is no lack of possibility for an increase in the market outlook. Overall, the cost of graphite electrodes is still high.
As of May 19, 2021, mainstream prices of graphite electrodes in China with a diameter of 300-600mm: ordinary power 1,6000-18,000 yuan/ton; high-power 17500-21,000 yuan/ton; ultra-high power 20,000-27,000 yuan/ton; ultra-high power 700mm Graphite electrode is 29000-31000 yuan/ton.
