Coke Futures Surge Amid Macro Optimism; Coking Coal Prices Edge Up on Heightened Speculation

Published: Sep 24, 2024 16:28

[SMM Daily Commentary: Macro Positive News Frequent, Coke Futures Rise Sharply]

Driven by today's macro positive news, market sentiment has significantly improved, with traders' speculative demand noticeably increasing. On the supply side, coking coal supply remains stable, and coal mines continue normal production. In terms of demand, despite the expected rise in coke prices, coke enterprises remain cautious in their purchases, mostly procuring based on actual needs. Traders have shown a marked increase in inquiries, leading to slight price hikes for some coal types and a rebound in speculative demand. Looking ahead, fueled by both the macro positive news and the expected rise in coke prices, it is anticipated that the price of coking coal will continue to stabilize with a slight upward trend in the short term.

[SMM Steel] Carbon Cost Advantage Buoys European Demand; Brazilian Slab Export Offers Hold Steady with Slight Adjustment
[Brazil] This week, Brazilian slab export offers for September shipments held steady at 575-595 USD/tonne FOB. Although demand for Brazilian slabs remains robust across major overseas importing markets—particularly in the EU, where Brazilian material is highly favored for its highly competitive carbon cost advantage—export premiums continue to face resistance from aggressive Asian competitors. While exporters acknowledge they cannot fully meet all overseas demand for September shipments, the intense international competition is ultimately anchoring the price trend for the new round of allocations at stable to slightly softer levels.
