After rising steadily since the end of February, Chinese prices for ultra-high-power (UHP) graphite electrodes began softening in late May due to weakening cost support, notes Mysteel's recent report on the market. Prices are expected to slide further in June, it predicts.

In East China's Jiangsu province, last month the price of 350mm diameter UHP graphite electrodes averaged Yuan 16,467/tonne ($2,432/t), up 3.5% from the average price of April, while that of 600mm diameter electrodes had also increased 3.1% on month in May to Yuan 17,756/t, both including the 13% VAT,
