[SMM Lithium Battery Anode Raw Material Market Weekly Review: Anode Raw Material Coke Prices Continued to Hold Up Well, Limited Downside Room in the Short Term] July 9 news: This week, China's anode raw material coke price showed an upward trend.

SMM, July 9:

This week, prices for anode-use raw material coke in China trended upward. On the supply-demand side, enterprises that had previously halted production for maintenance gradually resumed operations, leading to an increase in supply. At the same time, downstream clients’ purchasing enthusiasm rose concurrently, providing solid support for anode raw material coke prices to hold firm. In the short term, downstream demand is expected to continue climbing, and the cost side remains strong. Therefore, a decline in raw material coke prices in the near term is unlikely.
