[SMM Coke Market Weekly Report] This week, coke prices remained stable, while the futures market experienced continuous declines, leading to a gradual increase in bearish sentiment. In terms of supply, the operating rate of coke producers slightly decreased this week due to environmental protection-driven production restrictions in multiple regions, resulting in a slight contraction in coke supply. On the demand side, pig iron output at steel mills continued to decline, and coke inventory at steel mills kept building up, leading to a continuous contraction in coke demand. As a result, the coke market fundamentals showed a dual decline in supply and demand. Looking ahead, pig iron output at downstream steel mills is expected to decline further, with coke inventory at steel mills continuing to build up, potentially reducing steel mills' purchasing enthusiasm and further weakening coke demand. Currently, coke producers are still slightly profitable, so their motivation to cut production remains weak. Although environmental protection-driven production restrictions have a limiting effect on coke supply, the overall coke supply remains relatively ample. Therefore, the coke market fundamentals are likely to maintain a loose supply pattern. Coupled with the recent continuous decline in black futures, bearish sentiment in the market continues to intensify, and coke prices are expected to slightly decline next week.
