Six, Supplement to Market Dynamics
Recently, some enterprises have seen slight fluctuations in their petroleum coke quotations: On August 6, Guangrao Zhenghe Petrochemical quoted petroleum coke at 2,750 CNY per ton, down 30 CNY per ton from the previous trading day. Previously, from August 3 to 5, several companies—including Yatong Petrochemical and Henan Fengli Petrochemical—had raised their quotations to varying degrees, with price increases ranging from 30 to 180 CNY per ton. On the upstream side, Oman’s total oil production rose by 10.6% year-on-year as of the end of June 2026. Meanwhile, volatility in the international oil market has intensified, and Ghana has switched its oil product distribution to a spot-pricing model, which could indirectly affect fluctuations in petroleum coke costs.
