Graphite Investment Chart Overview
USGS Long-term U.S. Natural Graphite Supply and Unit Values
USGS Long-term U.S. Natural Graphite Supply and Unit Values. Apparent consumption is a supply-balance estimate of natural graphite available to U.S. users, not measured final demand. Mine output, trade and unit values use separate panels; nominal and constant-1998 dollars must not be combined. Wheel/Pinch=Zoom · Drag=Box zoom · Alt+Drag/Arrows=Pan · Double-click=Reset

USGS U.S. Natural Graphite Import Unit Values by Form
USGS U.S. Natural Graphite Import Unit Values by Form. Import unit value is customs value divided by quantity for each natural-graphite form, not a spot-market quote. Flake, lump or chip, and amorphous grades differ in quality and mix, so their dollar-per-tonne lines are not directly interchangeable.
