Methodology

  • Raw material prices are public quotes from SMM (Shanghai Metals Market), collected daily and shown in CNY/t as quoted.
  • Modelled product prices (CAM, anodes) are my own cost estimates: BOM consumption coefficients applied to public raw-material quotes plus industry-average processing fees. They are not market quotes. Formula versions are noted per series.
  • USD conversions use the daily reference rate captured with each run (exchangerate-api, BOC mid-price fallback).
  • Status flags: fallback = quote missing that day, last valid value carried forward; stale = no fresh quote for several days; unavailable = no public source.
  • Corrections: published data is version-controlled in git; errors are corrected and re-published with a visible trail.
