Market analysis:
CNOOC has adjusted its prices, with Binzhou Petrochemical raising prices by Yuan 30/t to Yuan 2,110/t, Taizhou Petrochemical lowering prices by Yuan 50/t to Yuan 2,150/t, and Zhoushan Petrochemical maintaining stable prices. This week, the major refineries of Sinopec and PetroChina operated at a stable price, and the overall production was relatively stable, with sufficient market supply. Meanwhile, the downstream anode market procurement demand wasn't improved, and they mostly purchased on rigid demand.
The anode material production showed a declined trend, leading to poor market orders. Thus the demand for the processing plants decreased also and some small and medium-sized enterprises maintained a low level operating rate. The low prices in the raw material market have eased the cost pressure on anode manufacturers.
