[SMM Aluminum News Flash] In the petroleum coke market, refinery maintenance is gradually increasing, delayed coking unit operating rates are pulling back, and domestic petroleum coke supply is expected to tighten marginally. Combined with the post-holiday return to normal market order and the gradual release of downstream stocking and restocking demand at the beginning of the month, the petroleum coke market has short-term support to recover, with prices mainly expected to stop falling and stabilize and move sideways.
