Baichuan Yinfu data show that on May 10, some domestic enterprises to increase the price of pre-baked anode, Shandong Pingyin Fengyuan carbon, Jinan Longshan carbon, such as up 110 yuan to 130 yuan/ton, the price of 4710 yuan to 4760 yuan/ton.  In terms of graphite electrode, the overall operating rate of steel mills is at a high level, which brings support to the demand for graphite electrode. The price of ultra-high power 700mm graphite electrode is 29000-31000 yuan/ton.  

Carbon products are divided into graphite electrode, carbon block, graphite anode, carbon electrode, paste, electric carbon and so on.  Commonly known as carbon brick or electric furnace block, mainly used in metallurgical industry: nonferrous metal and colorless metal smelting and calcium carbide, phosphorus chemical enterprises.  

Research institutions believe that electrolytic aluminum enterprises have high enthusiasm in production, and the demand for pre-baked anode continues to improve.  Graphite electrode, the downstream steel profits are considerable, coupled with cost support, the recent price of graphite electrode will still be stable in a small increase.  

Among A-share related companies, Fangda Carbon (600516) is the largest graphite electrode enterprise in China and the third largest in the world, mainly engaged in the production and sales of graphite, carbon products and iron ore powder.  And the company produces the needle coke, the cost advantage is obvious.  In addition, Kaifeng Carbon, a subsidiary of Yicheng New Energy (300080), is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the production and sales of ultra-high power graphite electrodes. The products are mainly used in electric arc furnace steelmaking, and can also be used as conductive electrodes in industrial silicon furnace, yellow phosphorus furnace and corundum furnace.
