In terms of origin, the domestic coking coal prices were weak last week, and coal mines resumed production gradually after the year. However, the current trading atmosphere is average, and transportation is affected to some extent by snowfall. Returning after the holiday, but the pace of coal mine resumption is relatively slow, coupled with rainy and snowy weather, the market supply is relatively average. Downstream coke shipments have been difficult this month, with steel mills experiencing losses and purchasing coke in moderation. At the end of February, the fourth round of coke price reduction was implemented, and coke losses became more severe. The market was mainly pessimistic.
According to the coking coal analyst from SunSirs, the price of coking coal is weak, and downstream coking enterprises are cautious in purchasing. The fourth round of coke price reduction at the end of February has been implemented, which provides moderate support for coking coal. Overall, the short-term price of coking coal may be weak, depending on downstream market demand.
