Tight supplies, more demand push up petcoke prices

摘要

Petcoke prices out of the Gulf are firming with the latest tenders building on recent gains, as supply availability for July is tight. A high-sulfur – 5.5-7.0% – cargo traded earlier this week at $35.70/metric tonne FOB the Gulf, for a Supramax loading in July. Last Friday’s IHS Markit weekly assessment for Gulf high-sulfur petcoke was $34.00/tonne FOB.
