This week witnessed moderate shipments for medium- and high-sulphur petroleum cokes. Leading refineries actively shipped goods, while private ones gently lowered prices. According to SMM research, November 2 saw stable ex-factory quotations from Tahe Petrochemical at 1,390 yuan/mt, Guangzhou Petrochemical at 1,400 yuan/mt, and Yangzi Petrochemical at 1,460 yuan/mt. The average price dropped by 8.8% WoW. High-sulphur petroleum coke market swung on a subdued note during the week, with prices averaging 1,488 yuan/mt, down 1.39% WoW, according to SMM research. Enterprises adjusted prices slightly based on their own shipments, with the adjustment range within 100 yuan/mt. Ample petroleum coke supply was felt amid high inventory at ports and less domestic maintenance of refineries. From a demand perspective, prebaked anode prices dipped, and aluminium production cuts were reported in Yunnan. Aluminium-oriented carbon plants were less enthusiastic about purchasing. Shrinking orders discouraged anode materials plants from purchasing. Petroleum coke market may swing in weakness next week.
