The market price of raw materials fluctuated differently, and the price of low-sulfur calcined coke also fluctuated constantly, and the average value was also maintained at 7,800 yuan/ton. It is reported that the current market price of graphite electrodes is relatively high, market transactions are stable, and their willingness to purchase is stable. The negative electrode material market continues to improve, but the purchase of raw materials seems to have a strong wait-and-see sentiment. With the advent of winter, transportation costs and difficulties are gradually increasing, and the market is still dominated by wait-and-see. Up to now, Daqing Petrochemical 1#A quoted 5600 yuan/ton; Fushun Petrochemical 1#A quoted 5500 yuan/ton; Jinxi Petrochemical 1#B petroleum coke was quoted at 4400 yuan/ton; Dagang Petrochemical 1#A petroleum coke was quoted at 4100 yuan /Ton.

At the beginning of this month, the graphite electrode graphitization processing fee also set a new high of 5,100 yuan/ton at the beginning of 2019, reaching 5,200 yuan/ton (large DC). Driven by raw material costs and processing costs, graphite electrode manufacturers are still willing to increase their prices, and mainstream manufacturers' prices are firm. After the middle of the month, affected by poor transactions, the domestic graphite electrode market prices began to run smoothly until the end of the month. During the period, enterprises in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong and other regions received the Winter Olympics "Notice on the Implementation of Production Regulation in the Carbon Industry". From January 1 to March 15 next year, all heavy industry enterprises in heavily polluted areas will be closed. Electrode companies Mostly in this range. However, many customers reported this month that investigations in heavily polluted areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, etc. have become more frequent, which has had a certain impact on the production of local graphite electrode companies. It is a common phenomenon to temporarily stop for half a day or a few days. Later control will become more stringent. Therefore, as the Winter Olympics approach in the later period, the control measures will become more stringent. Towards the end of November, the ex-factory price of raw petroleum coke had a callback, which had a certain impact on the mentality of some graphite electrode traders who had stockpiled in the earlier period. The quotations of major manufacturers were relatively stable. Market outlook: Petroleum coke prices will end in decline in November, and downstream purchasing sentiment will be average. In the short term, we will still wait and see.
