GLOBAL GRAPHITE SNAPSHOT: Europe amorphous price inches down amid weak demand, flake markets stable

摘要

All flake graphite markets stayed firm amid winter operation suspension in Heilongjiang province, as well as environmental regulations in Qingdao city, Shandong province. Market participants expect flake graphite prices to be supported by concerns over supply during the winter season until the first quarter of 2021. The market for spherical graphite was underpinned by stable flow to anode producers. The amorphous market was firm after its previous upward adjustment following operational suspensions at China's major supplier. But liquidity remained slow.
