The expectation of coke price increase has been dashed, and it may start to decline, but there is an expectation of price reduction for coking coal, and the cost of coke for coking enterprises may decrease. The inventory of coking enterprises will also remain low, and most of them choose to maintain the original production status. However, the 4.3-meter coke ovens in Shanxi may be completely eliminated, and there will be normal production restrictions. After the complete shutdown, the output of coke will decrease, but the utilization rate of coke ovens of coking enterprises may increase next week.
