No pricing relief on petroleum coke horizon due to lower coker rates, Asian demand

摘要

It's difficult to pinpoint petroleum coke pricing in the current environment marked by very limited activity, but one thing appears certain in the short term: the numbers will not fall, and could possibly rise, if only a little higher. That's the consensus among several sources, most of whom anticipate a tight supply scenario to remain for some time due to lower coker rates at numerous refineries and continued interest in petcoke from India and China.
