Today, the domestic coke market is running stably for the time being. Recently, road transport in Shanxi has basically returned to normal, coke shipments have improved, and stocks of coke enterprises have declined, but coking coal prices have been continuously raised, profits of coke enterprises have been compressed, and production restrictions of some coke enterprises have not yet been relaxed, and coke supply has been slightly tightened. The willingness to raise the price of coke has increased. Due to the influence of the tightening of power restriction, the scope of production limit of steel mills has been expanded, and the overhaul and production reduction of blast furnaces in some steel mills have increased, and the overall demand for coke has weakened. Coking coal prices are stable and medium to strong, but recently, a special meeting on coal supply in the fourth quarter was held in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, requiring the state-owned coal mines in Yulin to take the lead, and coal from major producing areas such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia to be reduced by 100 yuan per ton on the basis of existing prices. moreover, the Shaanxi region will speed up the procedures for increasing production of 17 coal mines guaranteed in winter, and coal mine output will increase, but winter storage has arrived and the impact of power coal supply. The supply of coking coal has been tightened, which may lead to the stable and strong operation of coking coal prices. Generally speaking, the coking coal price rising again has a strong support to the coke price cost, the mentality of coke enterprises has improved, and some coke enterprises which have hidden decline in the early period have recently increased, and the coke market will develop well in the short term.
