In terms of production area, most of the coal mines in the production area maintain normal production. Affected by epidemic situation and safety, the overall output of coking coal has a certain impact. However, most of the downstream coal mines are purchased on demand, and the coking coal is accumulated in stock. The coal mines adjust the quotation flexibly. The market price of quasi primary coke in Shanxi Province was temporarily stable from September 9, 2022 to September 16, 2022 last week. Previously, the average price of quasi primary coke in Shanxi was 2,500 yuan/ton, and it was 2,500 yuan/ton last weekend, unchanged. Last week, the coke market was temporarily stable, and the coking enterprises have slightly improved their work. The overall shipment of coke enterprises is good, and the overall coke inventory in the plant is low.

From the perspective of coking coal analysts of SunSirs, the price of coking coal has been adjusted last week, and the coal enterprises have adjusted their quotations flexibly. Recently, the downstream coke sector still purchases coking coal on demand, with a general willingness to purchase. Some coal mines are stocked and play a game of supply and demand. From a comprehensive perspective, China coking coal price is mainly adjusted, and the downstream market demand is specific.
