Analysis review
In terms of origin, coal mines mostly maintained normal production, but the downstream had a strong wait-and-see mood, the enthusiasm for purchasing decreased, and new orders from coal mines had decreased. In terms of downstream coke, the second round of promotion and reduction had been fully implemented, and the profit had been tightened, and the market was mainly operating on the sidelines.
Market outlook
According to the coking coal analyst of SunSirs, the second round of coke has been fully implemented, and the cumulative price has been reduced by 400 RMB/ton. Coking enterprises have been operating normally recently, enterprises are actively shipping, the coke inventory in the plant is relatively normal, and the price of raw coking coal is weakening. At present, the mentality of coking enterprises is weak, and the demand for coking coal is weakening. It is expected that the price of coking coal will be mainly consolidated in the later period, depending on the downstream market demand.
