ICC: In September, the overall supply of flake graphite market was stable. The downstream demand for domestic graphite has increased slightly, but at present, the profit margin of flake graphite production enterprises is limited, the focus of domestic negotiations has basically hit the bottom, and the cost control of downstream refractory materials and pellet ink enterprises is still large, and the willingness to reduce the price of raw materials is not reduced, resulting in the weak market price of flake, some item prices are reduced, and the overall performance is weak. With the production into October, flake graphite downstream enterprises will continue to open the winter storage mode, it is expected that the domestic flake graphite market will move forward smoothly. Up to now, Heilongjiang Province -195 flake graphite mainstream price 3800-4200 yuan/ton, -194 mainstream price 3600-3900 yuan/ton, -190 mainstream price 3000-3300 yuan/ton; In Shandong, the mainstream price of -195 is 4000-4400 yuan/ton, the price of -194 is 3800-4200 yuan/ton, and the negotiated price of 895 specifications is 7100-7200 yuan/ton.
There is no significant fluctuation in the global ink market, the demand for natural negative materials is stable, but for cost control, the willingness to pressure the price of raw materials is still strong, but the current global ink processing profit space is limited, the price is near the bottom, and under excess capacity, the operating rate of domestic graphite processing enterprises is mostly hovering in the middle, mainly executing contract orders, as of now, The domestic mainstream price of large balls remains at about 14,000 yuan/ton, and the mainstream price of small balls is about 19,000 yuan/ton.
