The overall price trend of flake graphite in Shandong is stable. At present, the mainstream price of -195 is 6300-6500 yuan/ton, which is the same as last month. In winter, most flake graphite enterprises in Northeast China stop production and have a holiday. Although a few enterprises are producing, their output is reduced and their inventory is not much. The following Furuite graphite editor explains the current price trend of flake graphite in Shandong:
In 2021, the export situation of flake graphite was relatively low. According to customs calculations, in January 2021, China’s total export volume of natural flake graphite was about 139,000 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 18.3%. Among them, the top five countries in export volume are Japan, the United States, the Netherlands, Italy and South Korea, and the export volume to the five countries accounts for 55.9% of the total export volume. According to the export ports, the export volume of Qingdao Customs is 55,800 tons, that of Dalian Customs is 45,100 tons, and that of Tianjin Customs is 31,900 tons. The total graphite exported from the above three customs accounts for more than 95% of the total export volume.
Due to the poor steel situation in the flake graphite market some time ago, the demand for refractories declined, resulting in a decline in the price of flake graphite and confusion in the quotation of enterprises. Years ago, as the Spring Festival holiday approached, the supply of graphite declined due to the suspension of production in Northeast China, and the stocking of dirty enterprises was basically completed. The supply and demand of flake graphite market was flat and the quotation was relatively stable.
The above is Furuite Graphite’s analysis of the recent price trend of flake graphite for you, hoping to help you.
