Recently, the price of graphite electrode is stable and rising. The first echelon manufacturers offer high power and ultra-high power graphite electrode to more than 20,000 yuan, and the other manufacturers offer to follow the increase.  On the market, the supply of small and medium sized electrodes is still tight. Some enterprises' orders are arranged to the end of the month. The production enthusiasm of enterprises is high and the market attitude is positive.  
 
Raw materials as a whole maintain a strong trend, the cost end of the electrode has a strong support, graphitization cost price increase also intensified the cost pressure of some outsourcing graphitization manufacturers.  
 
As of May 10, 2021, China graphite electrode diameter 300-600mm mainstream price: ordinary power 16000-18000 yuan/ton;  High power 17500-21000 yuan/ton;  Ultra high power 20,000-27000 yuan/ton;  Ultra high power 700mm graphite electrode 29000-31000 yuan/ton.  At present, the profits of the downstream steel mills of graphite electrode are considerable, and the overall utilization rate of the steel mills is at a high level, which supports the demand surface of graphite electrode.
