SMM Analysis: Limited Profit Margin, Graphitisation Tolling Prices Remained Stable This Week. SMM, April 3: Graphitisation prices were relatively stable this week, with the average price of Acheson furnace graphitisation at 8,925 yuan/mt, and the average price of box-type furnace graphitisation at 7,775 yuan/mt.

SMM April 3 News:

This week, graphitisation prices remained stable, with the average price of Acheson furnace graphitisation at 8,925 yuan/mt and box-type furnace graphitisation at 7,775 yuan/mt. As the market gradually emerged from the off-season, the operating rate of anode enterprises rebounded significantly. However, as most anode enterprises tend to pursue integrated development, the demand for graphitisation tolling services saw limited improvement. Currently, the overall capacity surplus in graphitisation tolling services remains severe, and the industry development shows a clear stagnation. Cost side, electricity costs remain high, and the profit margin for graphitisation tolling services is thin. Looking ahead, end-use demand is expected to continue increasing, and the production schedule of anode enterprises is likely to rise, potentially boosting the demand for graphitisation tolling services. However, given the oversupply in graphitisation tolling services, which is unlikely to change in the short term, graphitisation tolling prices are expected to remain stagnant with no signs of improvement in the near future.
