[SMM Lithium Battery Anode Raw Material Market Weekly Review: Graphitisation Tolling Services Prices Steady in Stalemate, Downstream Push for Lower Prices Easing] July 23: This week, China's graphitisation tolling services prices overall maintained a stable trend.

SMM, July 23 –

This week, China’s graphitisation toll processing prices overall held steady. Supply and demand side, downstream demand support was moderate, and outsourced toll processing orders remained ample; supply side, operating enterprises had limited capacity, and market expectations for an uptrend persisted. However, affected by earlier cost declines, despite a rebound trend this period, actual prices did not exceed previous highs, and momentum for price adjustments was insufficient. Looking ahead, as downstream anode material demand gradually expands, clients, to ensure stable operation of their own capacity, will ease their tendency to push for lower prices in toll processing, and processing enterprises will have room for bargaining power recovery.
