Analysis review

In terms of origin, the supply of coking coal had been tightened due to safety accidents. Domestic coking coal prices rose and fell. The recent purchase enthusiasm of downstream coke was general. Coke enterprises mainly digested the initial inventory, and still purchased coking coal as required. Coking steel was cautious in purchasing coking coal, and the supply and demand continued to play a game.

Market outlook

According to the coking coal analysts of SunSirs, the supply of coking coal had shrunk, and the downstream coke sector had recently maintained a rigid demand for coking coal. The market was in a strong wait-and-see mood. In general, coking coal price will mainly be consolidated, depending on the downstream market demand.
