On the first day of the year of the Tiger, the domestic graphite electrode price is mainly stable for the time being. The mainstream price of UHP450mm with 30% needle coke content on the market is 215-22,000 yuan/ton, the mainstream price of UHP600mm is 25,000-26,000 yuan/ton, and the price of UHP700mm is 29,000-30,000 yuan/ton.
In view of the comprehensive impact of international oil price over $92 during the Spring Festival, the opening of the steel market, graphitization capacity shunting expectation and other factors, electrode manufacturers are generally cautious about the future market, some manufacturers are planning to raise the ex-factory price, the estimated range is 10000-2,000 yuan/ton, and some manufacturers even began to suspend orders.
From the point of view of supply and demand, during the festival, most of the first echelon of graphite electrode factory normal production, the execution of early orders; Some manufacturers in the second tier are limited by 20%-30% due to holidays, epidemic and other factors. Some small manufacturers are still out of production. Due to the majority of independent electric furnace steel mills to January 15 will begin to resume production, coupled with the impact of the northern part of the long process steel winter Olympics production limit, market demand is expected to pick up in March, when the graphite electrode price is expected to expand.
