IV. Conclusion on Trend Direction
The current trend in petroleum coke prices is a strong fluctuation. Reasons: The changes in the three average differences from the previous day are all positive, indicating a short-term upward trend. However, the 20-day average difference is still negative, and a clear upward trend with all three average differences being positive has not yet formed. Therefore, it is judged to be a rebound market with strong fluctuations.
V. Positional Spatial Reference
Petroleum coke 60-day cycle price is at a medium-low level, with limited room for a short-term decline; the 1-year cycle price is at a medium-high level, and there are certain constraints on the potential for a sustained significant increase.
Six, reference for upstream and downstream impacts
Upstream: Brent crude oil is currently at a nearly one-year high, providing strong cost-side support for petroleum coke prices.
Downstream: The prices of downstream products of petcoke, such as glass, have recently shown a slight increase. The marginal recovery in demand has had a certain supportive effect on the price of petcoke.
