摘要

Sellers of the larger mesh of graphite flake, 94% C, +80% mesh (+894), fob China and graphite flake, 94% C, +100 mesh (+194), fob China stayed flat during the past week. For +894, reduced demand from the domestic expandable graphite sector and the much cheaper +194 material could add pressure to the market, according to sources. The amorphous market was quiet amid very limited spot activity over the past month. The graphite flake, 94% C, -100 mesh (-194), fob China assessment remained unchanged with sellers holding their export prices firm. But sources reported the domestic ex-work price dropped by 100 yuan ($14.45) per tonne amid bearish market conditions.
