Analysis review

In terms of origin, the coal mine maintained a normal level of operation and sales had improved compared to the previous period. The operating rate of coke in the downstream coke market was relatively stable, enterprises were actively shipping, and inventory showed a slight downward trend. However, there was still a phenomenon that suppressed coke in steel mills, and they mainly purchased according to demand.

In terms of downstream coke, the recent demand for coking coal was still mainly based on on-demand procurement. Overall, the price of coking coal is mainly temporarily stable, depending on downstream market demand.
