Upstream: On September 15, 2026, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil released data showing that Iraq’s current daily crude oil production has exceeded 3 million barrels. In August, oil export volumes reached a new high since the U.S.-Iran conflict, approaching 70 million barrels. Looking ahead, Iraq plans to increase its export capacity to 5 million barrels per day, which could put downward pressure on crude oil prices and, in turn, affect the cost of petroleum coke.
Spot market: From September 10 to 15, multiple refineries in China raised their petroleum coke quotations, with refineries in Shandong adjusting prices by 50-320 CNY/ton. The overall spot trading atmosphere was relatively strong.
