- Market Forecast
According to the coke analysts of SunSirs, at present, the overall turnover of the domestic coke market is relatively weak, and the coke steel market is facing the expectation of limiting production. The steel mills just purchase in need, and the coke enterprises are active in shipping, but the turnover is limited. It has been predicted that the coke market will still operate in a weak position in the near future. In the future, it is necessary to pay attention to the policy and steel plant inventory.
