This week, the refinery's petroleum coke shipments were average, the downstream demand was limited, and the price of petroleum coke fell.

Upstream: The international crude oil price fell. During the National Day, the 33rd Ministerial Conference of OPEC+decided to reduce the average daily output of OPEC+crude oil by 2 million barrels from the required daily output level in August 2022. Affected by the news of production reduction, the price of crude oil market rose by 15%, but the negative pressure on the economy was difficult to ease. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that the risk of global economic recession was growing. The IMF lowered its economic growth forecast for next year, and crude oil prices fell for three days after the holiday. On Thursday, the US CPI data was released. Although it was higher than expected, the stock market rebounded strongly after falling, boosting risky assets such as crude oil.

As of October 16, the price of electrolytic aluminum was 18,726.67 RMB/ton; Downstream carbon enterprises had a large number of goods in stock before the festival, which was still dominated by de stocking.

Market outlook

The refinery shipments were under pressure. Downstream procurement was mainly on demand, and the downstream had a strong wait-and-see mood. It is expected that the price of locally refined petroleum coke will continue to decline in the near future.
