Last week, the price of local refined petroleum coke continued to decline. Low sulfur coke is in short supply, stable demand and stable price. The storage of medium and high sulfur coke is high, the shipment is under pressure, and the refinery will reduce the price for shipment.
Industry: according to the price monitoring of SunSirs, in the list of commodity prices in the 11th week of 2021 (3.15-3.19), there were three kinds of commodities in the energy sector that increased month on month, among which there was one commodity that has increased more than 5%, accounting for 6.3% of the number of commodities monitored in the sector; the top three commodities that increased were LNG (8.76%), thermal coal (0.43%) and MTBE (0.41%).

The top 3 products with a decline were Brent crude oil (-8.94%), WTI crude oil (-8.46%) and coke (-4.39%). Last week, the average rise and fall was -1.84%.
SunSirs petroleum coke analysts believe that: the local refining market has entered the maintenance cycle one after another, Hengyuan petrochemical and Xinhai Petrochemical have shut down for maintenance, but the downstream carbon market is short of funds, and the crude oil price in the international market has plummeted. It is expected that China petroleum Coke will fluctuate at a high level in the short term.
