Capacitors and supercapacitors and Graphite

Their prices have moved together.

Capacitors and supercapacitors (energy) and Graphite (commodity): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Price link: carbon materials

Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways

Capacitor electrodes are carbon materials, and the carbon and graphite products index is the nearest public carbon series. Monthly moves barely correlate, at 0.12, but yearly moves reach 0.47, which points to a shared industrial cycle rather than direct cost pass-through from one to the other.

  • 0.12 monthly change correlation
  • 0.47 12-month change correlation
