Supply-demand pattern-wise, the prebaked anode industry maintains a high operating rate, with robust downstream demand, and prebaked anode prices are expected to remain stable in the short term. However, the performance of the raw material side constrains price increases: although the petroleum coke market shows signs of recovery, there is still a lack of strong support for sustained price increases; the coal tar pitch market continues to be weak, with a clear downward expectation. With the combination of these two factors, the upward momentum of prebaked anode prices is expected to be insufficient next month.
