At present, the price of jinxi low sulfur petroleum coke, the upstream raw material of graphite electrode, has been significantly increased by 400 yuan/ton, and the price of its calcined coke has been increased by 700 yuan/ton. At present, the coking price of Jinxi low sulfur Calcined coke has reached 11100 yuan/ton, and the raw material cost of graphite electrode is high.
The downstream steel mills are not working enough, and the low market price is relatively limited to stimulate the downstream delivery. The current situation of high cost pressure and insufficient profit of graphite electrode is superimposed, and the quotation of graphite electrode enterprises is strong.
In addition, the current graphite electrode market process cost is high, the average price of graphite electrode graphitization processing cost is about 5500 yuan/ton, non-complete process graphite electrode enterprise cost pressure is more obvious.
At present, the cost pressure of the graphite electrode market is high, the graphite electrode enterprises are cautious in production, the enterprise has no inventory pressure, and the price sentiment is obvious, but under the restriction of weak demand, the actual transaction price of the graphite electrode market has not been implemented currently. Therefore, it is expected that in the short term, the transaction price of graphite electrode market has been pushed up, mainly to implement the current quotation.
Today (2022.5.10) China’s graphite electrode market price:
RP graphite electrode (300mm~600mm) 22500~25000 yuan/ton;
HP graphite electrode (300mm~600mm) 24000~27000 yuan/ton;
UHP graphite electrode (300mm~600mm) 25500~29500 yuan/ton.
