[SMM Coking Coal and Coke Daily Brief] 20260302

[SMM coking coal and coke daily brief] In terms of supply, the average profit per mt of coke is around the break-even point, with normal production. However, due to downstream wait-and-see sentiment and some steel mills controlling arrivals, the shipment pace of some coke enterprises has slowed down, leading to a continuous accumulation of coke inventory. On the demand side, the resumption of production at steel mills is slow, and their own coke inventories are at reasonable levels. Additionally, during the Chinese New Year, the accumulation of finished product inventory led to continuously compressed steel mill profits, resulting in mainly purchasing coke as needed. In summary, the willingness of steel mills to seek profit from the raw material end is increasing, and recently, cost support for coke may weaken.
