Cost pressure continues, graphite electrode market bullishness remains

At present, graphite electrode market is operating strongly. The price of ultra-high power graphite electrode has increased by 1500-3000 yuan/ton. The shipment of raw petroleum coke is good. The prices of Jinxi petroleum coke and Daqing petroleum coke are stable, however market supply is tight and market transaction price is high. Affected by the epidemic, the supply of raw materials in some downstream areas was significantly blocked, resulting in a decline in the operating volume of steel plants, a certain slowdown in the demand for graphite electrodes, and a negative impact on the early price rise.
