In terms of origin, domestic coking coal prices rose over the weekend last week, and coal supply remained tight due to environmental inspections. The recent increase in supply is limited. The downstream coke market is relatively strong, with prices rising and coke prices rising. However, downstream steel mills currently have low profits and are resistant to raw material prices. However, the overall coke price has been relatively strong recently.

According to the coking coal analyst from SunSirs, the price of coking coal is improving, and the supply of coking coal is currently tight. Downstream coke has a restocking demand for coking coal due to the approaching double section. Overall, the short-term price of coking coal may be stronger, depending on the downstream market demand.
