[SMM Flash News] During the week, due to strong wait-and-see sentiment among downstream enterprises, the sales performance of petroleum coke from local refineries was unsatisfactory, and prices continued to decline. As of Friday, the average price of petroleum coke from local refineries was approximately 2,247 yuan/mt, down 5.13% from the previous Friday. Affected by this, the prices of petroleum coke at ports also gradually declined. Meanwhile, the sales performance of imported petroleum coke was also poor, leading to a continuous increase in port inventories.
