[SMM Lithium Battery Anode Raw Material Market Weekly Review: Cost Support Combined with Improving Demand Keeps Raw Material Coke Prices More Likely to Rise than Fall in the Short Term] July 16 News: This week, China's anode raw material coke prices continued to rise.

SMM, July 16:

This week, China’s anode raw material coke prices continued their upward trend. The upstream cost side rose repeatedly, supporting the fundamentals of raw material coke; supply-demand side, the supply pattern was relatively stable, downstream procurement sentiment was relatively active, and coke plants were in good condition. Looking ahead, downstream demand expectations are improving and cost support is strong, so it is expected that raw material coke prices will be more likely to rise than fall in the short term.
