ICC: The low sulfur coke market rose and fell in May. From the comparison between the price at the beginning of the month and the price at the end of the month, the price of high-quality low sulfur coke increased by 200-400 yuan, and the price of common low sulfur coke decreased by 200-780 yuan. By the end of the month, the price of Daqing Petrochemical 1\a was 9000 yuan / ton; Fushun Petrochemical 1# price is 9000 yuan; The price of Dagang Petrochemical 1\a is 7400 yuan / ton; The price of Jinxi Petrochemical 1 × B is 8200-8300 yuan / ton; The price of Jinzhou Petrochemical 1 × B is 7600 yuan / ton. In the middle and early May, the low sulfur coke market has maintained a good trading and investment status, but at the end of the month, the purchasing power of the negative electrode material factory decreased, and there was a large stock of raw materials in the early stage, resulting in a decline in the prices of some refineries. Fushun and Daqing are currently at a high level, and the bidding price in early June reached about 9040-9200 yuan tons. However, the prices of some low sulfur coke fell at the end of the month, and the prices of petroleum coke in the future may be divided.
In terms of the low sulfur calcined coke market, the low sulfur calcined coke market rose steadily this month, and the overall market shipment was good. By the end of the month, the mainstream transaction price remained at 11100-13000 yuan / ton. At the end of the month, affected by the downward trend of raw material prices, the low sulfur calcined coke market was bearish, but the downstream market had a fair demand for low sulfur calcined coke, which supported the low sulfur calcined coke price. On the whole. In the short term, the low sulfur calcined coke market will be mainly stable.
On the downstream side, the graphite electrode market had a good start at the beginning of this month, with a price increase of 1500-2000 yuan / ton. The graphite electrode market has remained stable in the future. As of the end of this month, the mainstream quotation of uhp600mm specification has remained at 29000-30000 yuan / ton. At present, all manufacturers are mainly stable, but the steel market has not significantly improved. Some early maintenance manufacturers resume production, and their demand for graphite electrodes has increased slightly. However, June will usher in the traditional high-temperature off-season in the steel market, It still needs time to repair the confidence of the steel market. It is expected that the demand for low sulfur coke by graphite electrode will not be significantly improved. In terms of negative electrode materials, the market performance of negative electrode materials in this month was acceptable, and the output of negative electrode materials in this month was basically the same as that in April. In the first and middle of May, the negative electrode material manufacturers were more active in purchasing downstream low sulfur coke. However, in late May, each factory purchased sufficient raw materials in the early stage. Now, the purchasing of raw materials has suddenly changed to a cautious attitude, and the low sulfur coke is mainly replenished on demand.
Generally speaking, the purchasing sentiment in the downstream market of low sulfur coke was weak at the end of the month, and the mentality of low sulfur coke manufacturers was relatively negative. However, low sulfur coke is still at a historical high, and it is expected that the low sulfur coke market will take a downward trend in June.
