September 7 news
According to the SpotCom AI assistant, this analysis of petroleum coke price trends is based on the latest spot data up to September 6, 2026. The current signal for the average difference in petroleum coke prices indicates a strong consolidation (favoring an increase). Prices are at a high level within a 1-year cycle. Upstream Brent crude oil is at a high price, providing strong support for the cost end. Recently, most refineries in China have raised their quotations for petroleum coke, indicating a strong short-term trend. Attention should be paid to the subsequent impact of changes in demand from downstream sectors such as glass and graphite electrodes on prices.

2. Signal Status Judgment
The current three deviation change direction combinations are (－, ＋, ＋), which belong to a strong consolidation (biased towards bullish) signal.
3. Trend Direction Conclusion
The current price trend is oscillating. Reason: The directions of the three average differences compared to the previous day are not entirely consistent, which meets the criteria for an oscillating trend. Coupled with a strong consolidation signal that favors an upward bias, there is a higher probability of a short-term oscillation with a stronger upward tendency.
4. Position Space Reference
The 60-day price cycle is in the second tier (mid-to-low range), with limited room for short-term declines.
The 3-month cycle price is in the 3rd tier (median), with relatively balanced upside and downside potential.
1 year cycle price is in the 4th tier (moderately high), and the room for medium to long-term increase has narrowed.

7. Industry Chain Impact Alert
Upstream: Brent crude oil is currently at the high end of its 60-day cycle, and cost factors provide strong support for petroleum coke.
Downstream: Glass is currently at a low price point in its 1-year cycle, and weak demand may put some pressure on the upside of petroleum coke. It is necessary to pay attention to changes in other downstream demands such as graphite electrodes and calcined coke.
