This week, the refinery shipped well, the supply of petroleum coke increased, the early high price fell, the downstream demand was good, the refinery actively shipped to inventory, and the local petroleum coke price decreased slightly.

Upstream: the international crude oil price has risen since October. Affected by the rise of European natural gas and the production restriction of oil producing countries, crude oil also shows a shortage of supply. The international oil price has exceeded the $80 mark during the “National Day” and continued to rise after the festival. On October 4, the organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies reached an agreement at the ministerial video conference to maintain the original production policy. The expectation of supply tightening heated up the market panic and the high oil price. What is more noteworthy is that there is an extreme shortage of natural gas in Europe and the United States, and power plants may gradually turn to oil power generation, which will further lead to the shortage of crude oil. Oil prices have been strongly supported in the short term.

The average rise and fall this week was 4.24%.

Petroleum coke analysts of business society believe that: Recently, the supply of petroleum coke in refineries has increased, the high price in the early stage has dropped, the downstream demand is good, refineries actively ship and destock, the downstream electrolytic aluminum price has increased, the calcined coke price is basically stable, and the downstream operation is cautious. It is expected that the price of petroleum coke may decline slightly in the near future.

Affected by the typhoon “compass”, the construction of roads in the South was blocked, affecting the domestic asphalt demand. Domestic asphalt prices rose first and then fell. Sinopec refinery prices rose by 20-80 yuan / ton. However, with the outflow of current low-cost goods in some regions, the market price fell slightly. In the short term, crude oil remains high and volatile, and the market may maintain stability under the support of cost.

In the short term, on the demand side, with the cold weather in the north, the road demand will gradually weaken; In the southern market, considering the restriction of production and electricity and the high level of social library, it may have a negative impact on the price. Asphalt analysts of business society expect that considering that international crude oil remains high, asphalt prices are mainly strong.
