Why look at graphite stocks before the open?
The graphite theme covers natural and synthetic graphite miners, refiners, processors, and battery materials companies, serving EV battery anodes, industrial graphite electrodes, and coatings and additives.
Rising EV adoption and energy storage system (ESS) demand are pushing anode material needs higher, which is why these names are drawing attention.
08:40 is a good time to narrow down themes before placing orders.
This piece is a checklist for deciding which intraday news and flows to check first.

Risks
If the graphite theme has already surged in the short term, holding trading value on a pullback matters more than chasing the open.
Early intraday theme strength can shift fast, so check it alongside the index direction, the exchange rate, and US futures.
TCK (064760) at -9.32% over the last five trading days was relatively weak, so watch whether it recovers intraday.
