In terms of production area, the coal mine has maintained normal operation, the overall supply of coking coal is relatively stable, and the overall inventory pressure is average. The downstream coke market has seen relatively stable coke production, with enterprises actively shipping. Recently, the steel factory's profits have recovered, and the mood has improved, actively shipping. However, the upward momentum is insufficient, and more purchases are made on demand. It is expected that the price of coke will temporarily stabilize in the short term.
According to SunSirs coking coal analysts, coking coal maintains normal production. As downstream steel mills increase profits, their demand for coke may increase. Overall, the price of coking coal may tend to be stronger and more stable, depending on downstream market demand.
