 【Calcined Petroleum Coke】Slight Market Increase with Limited Growth for Low-Sulfur Grades

Market Overview

On January 13, the average market price for calcined petroleum coke stood at 2,590 RMB/ton, an increase of 5 RMB/ton (+0.19%) compared to the previous workday. Low-sulfur calcined petroleum coke prices rose due to last week's petroleum coke price hikes. Enterprises adjusted quotes upward after replenishing high-priced raw materials, but downstream demand for electrodes remained weak, limiting actual transaction price increases. The mid- to high-sulfur calcined petroleum coke market saw decent activity, with suppliers maintaining firm pricing and showing reluctance to accept low-price orders.
