Driven by macro tailwinds such as the "anti-rat race" competition, some news-related stimuli, and the bullish capital in the market, as of the close of the daytime trading session on July 25, the main contracts of coking coal and ferrosilicon futures both closed at the daily limit, with the main contract of coking coal having achieved four consecutive daily limits. The weekly line of the main contract of coking coal even surged by 35.01% this week, demonstrating particularly strong performance in the futures market for coking coal raw materials.
