Analysis review

In terms of production area, due to the impact of public health events, transportation had been affected, and the coking coal had accumulated on the site, but the downstream demand was still strong; the downstream coke was mainly operated stably, and some coke enterprises had the phenomenon of tight supply of raw materials. Therefore, some enterprises were forced to reduce their load, and it was expected that the supply would be tight in the future.

Market outlook

According to the coking coal analyst of SunSirs comprehensively, coking coal is supported by coke, and there is still a demand for replenishment in the later stage. The price may be mainly based on good performance, depending on the downstream market demand.
