In terms of raw materials, the trading atmosphere in the domestic market of burnt oil is reasonable, the bidding price of low-sulfur petroleum coke has increased slightly, and the market price of burnt oil is stable as a whole. Medium and high sulfur market indicators are shipping smoothly, enterprises are willing to support the price, and the price of a new round of orders is increased.
Supply side: Some enterprises due to negative electrode start down, carburizer supply gradually reduced, the overall market supply is slightly tight.
Demand: the demand for terminal steel is still weak, the scope of steel mill maintenance is still expanding, steel prices have experienced a round of pull up, the downstream terminal back to the sidelines, steel prices show a shock adjustment after the rise. The demand of downstream steel enterprises for semi-graphitized carburants is flat, and there are fewer market enquiries.
In general, the semi-graphitized carburizer market in August showed a relatively stable price, relatively sufficient supply, and flat demand. The market supply and demand relationship is relatively balanced, and the price fluctuation is small, but the lack of demand limits the activeness of the market to a certain extent. The follow-up market still needs to pay attention to the production situation of the steel industry, the negative electrode, the price changes of raw materials and the macroeconomic situation.
