Analysis review

In terms of production areas, most of the coal mines had resumed normal production, with relatively stable operation and supply. The recent profits of downstream coke had recovered from the previous period, but the coke enterprises mainly digested the inventory in the previous period, and still purchased coking coal on demand. On the supply side, the operating rate of coking enterprises increased slightly, and enterprises actively shipped.

In terms of downstream coke, most of the coking coal has been purchased on demand recently. In general, coking coal price will mainly be consolidated, and depending on downstream market demand.
