SMM June 19 News:

This week, graphitisation prices remained stable. From the perspective of the supply-demand pattern, as anode material producers accelerate the implementation of their integrated development strategies, the momentum for growth in graphitisation tolling orders is significantly insufficient, and the situation of supply surplus in the market remains severe. However, as the profits from graphitisation tolling services have already fallen below the cost line, producers are facing profitability challenges, and buyers and sellers are locked in a pricing stalemate. Looking ahead, there are no signs of recovery in demand in the short term, and the situation of overcapacity is difficult to reverse. Meanwhile, the easing of cost-side pressures may provide room for price reductions to secure market orders. Based on a comprehensive assessment, it is expected that graphitisation tolling prices will come under pressure in the future.
