The steel source protection platform learned through research that the mainstream ex-factory price of high-power graphite electrodes with a diameter of 450mm is 20,000-22,000 yuan/ton including tax, and the mainstream price of ultra-high-power graphite electrodes with a diameter of 450mm is 21,000-23,000 yuan/ton including tax.
Raw materials: The raw coke market is trading well, the mainstream market price is stable and transitional, and the local coking price continues to rise. With the rapid development of the domestic new energy industry, the production capacity of negative electrodes is increasing year by year, the demand for calcined coke is rising, and the price is also rising. In particular, the market for high-quality low-sulfur calcined coke is scarce and expensive, which supports the cost of graphite electrodes.
Demand side: The main terminal of domestic graphite electrodes is electric furnace steelmaking. After the Spring Festival holiday is over, the resumption rate of engineering projects is low, the market demand for steel is low, the operating rate of steel enterprises, and the procurement of traders are sluggish. The demand for graphite electrodes is at a low-to-medium level.
The steel source protection platform predicts that the price of graphite electrodes will be affected by the support of raw materials, and the price may continue to fluctuate. Source of information Gangyuanbao.
