Coke Oven Capacity Utilisation Rate May Decline Slightly Amid Slow Market Recovery

【Losses Occur; Coke Oven Capacity Utilisation Rate at Coke Enterprises May Decline Slightly Next Week】

Most coke enterprises are expected to remain near the break-even point, within a tolerable range for the majority, with only a small number of coke enterprises reducing production. Coke supply remains ample. However, the recovery of the end-use market is slow and below market expectations, while coke inventories remain at safe levels, and steel mills primarily purchase as needed. In summary, the ample coke supply situation is unlikely to change in the short term. Coupled with losses at some coke enterprises, which suppress production enthusiasm, the coke oven capacity utilisation rate at coke enterprises may decline slightly next week.
