In 2025, Calcined Petroleum Coke (CPC) prices are experiencing fluctuations due to various factors. In the first quarter, prices in the US reached $376/MT, supported by consistent demand and stable supply. However, the market faces uncertainty in Q2 due to declining crude oil prices and changing trade dynamics.
Factors influencing CPC prices in 2025:
· Demand:
Strong demand from aluminum and cement sectors, particularly in the US, has been a key price driver.
· Supply:
Tight supply, especially in China and limited spot availability, has contributed to price increases.
· Crude Oil Prices:
While fluctuations in crude oil prices can impact CPC prices, there's not a direct correlation, and sometimes prices rise despite a decline in crude oil.
· Logistics:
Logistical challenges, such as freight charges, can also affect prices.
· Macroeconomic Conditions:
The overall economic recovery and end-use consumption demand can influence prices.
Specific Price Points and Trends:
· USA:
In Q1, CPC prices reached $376/MT, but the market experienced some price volatility.
· China:
Prices surged in Q1, influenced by tight supply and rising feedstock crude oil costs.
· Global Market:
The global market faces turbulence in Q2 due to declining crude oil prices and shifting trade patterns.
Overall Outlook:
· Short-Term:
The tight supply-demand situation is expected to continue, potentially leading to further price increases.
· Medium to Long-Term:
Limited new capacity and the potential exit of local refining capacity could exacerbate the supply-demand imbalance, increasing reliance on imports and driving up prices.
Note: Prices can vary based on location, sulfur content, and other specifications. It's essential to consult specific market reports and assessments for the most up-to-date price information.
