News: Coking coal rumors, one is the rumor of 20% foreign coal mineral resource tax (has been confirmed); the second is the rumor of suspension and reduction of production in a certain place (this is said that the Shanxi Emergency Management Department denied the reduction of production); the third is the new "Mineral Resources Law" increases costs.
The in-plant inventory of seamless tubes factories is 625,600 tons, an increase of 2,100 tons from the previous week. In general, the in-plant raw material inventory has decreased slightly and the finished pipe inventory has increased slightly. The disturbance caused by the rumors on coking coal in the market stimulated a rapid rebound in coking coal, which boosted the entire black futures market and caused the market to continue to fall in recent days.
