📊 Fundamental Alignment
🔋 EV Battery Anode Narrative: Global lithium/graphite demand surging → Graphite India well-positioned as key electrode supplier.
🌍 China Supply Risks = India graphite players gain global relevance.
💼 FIIs Inflow: Recent uptick (+1.7%) hints at sectoral re-rating in anticipation of capex cycles and commodity upturn.
📉 Valuation Context: After steep de-rating post-2018, current price offers favorable risk-reward compared to earnings expectations and sector re-alignment.
► Graphite electrodes are the main heating element used in an electric arc furnace
extremely high levels of heat generated in EAF.
Graphite electrodes are divided into 4 Types: RP Graphite electrodes, HP Graphite electrodes, SHP Graphite electrodes, UHP Graphite electrodes.
► Needle coke👀 is a key ingredient in the production of graphite electrodes for electric arc furnaces (EAFs) in the steel industry.
🧰 Strategic Outlook
►we'll follow this trade closely and within incoming week we'll up a close up view of 4h TF
Bias: Strongly Bullish on breakout; Neutral if it stalls below ₹550.
Targets: ₹900 (swing), ₹1,300 (positional)
ideal for swing/long-term portfolio adds
Alternate Case: Breakdown below🔻₹480 negates pattern; re-evaluate around ₹400 for demand re-entry.

“What if true breakouts don’t come from hype — but from time, patience, and the quiet work of smart money preparing long before headlines catch up? Are you watching the price, or are you watching the behavior behind the price?”
Commoditycycle
Are You Positioned for Quad 2? I hope you're readyWe're already in the midst of record runs in the equity and commodity markets but as bubbly as it seems, its not over.
We are in an environment that not many people are familiar with. The last time Growth and Inflation on a global scale were accelerating as fast as they are now was immediately after World War 2. Previous commodity cycles were sparked by 1 or 2 catalysts. The current macro setup has nearly the most accommodative and bullish catalysts for global growth and inflation that we could imagine. Fed on autopilot, Fiscal out the wazoo, supply chain disruptions and shortages everywhere, all major political interests want a weaker dollar.
Given that is the case and YoY GDP will probably show about +10% and CPI +3% in the 2nd Quarter, there's a good chance this current run, especially for commodities, could continue for a couple more months before a major correction.
Things I have been and remain bullish on: Potash, Sugar, Wheat, Soybeans, Corn, Cocoa, Coffee, Orange Juice, Copper, Uranium, Crude Oil, Natural Gas.
I've added to my exposure recently Aluminum, Nickel, and Coal.
