According to the SunSirs Commodity Market Analysis System: On April 30, 2026, the average price for quasi-first-grade metallurgical coke stood at 1,560 RMB/ton. The coke market is currently operating in a stable manner, with procurement activities primarily driven by immediate demand.
Market Trading: The overall trading atmosphere remains relatively subdued. Steel mills, benefiting from reasonable inventory levels and a bearish outlook on future coke prices, are showing low enthusiasm for procurement. Conversely, coking enterprises are facing pressure to move inventory; to stimulate sales, some firms have begun to proactively lower their prices.
Market Overview: The market is currently in a phase of equilibrium between supply and demand, with coke prices in major regions fluctuating within a specific range. On April 30, metallurgical coke prices in the Tangshan market remained temporarily stable; current mainstream transaction prices are quoted at 1,790 RMB/ton for tamped-charging first-grade dry-quenched coke, and 1,860 RMB/ton for top-charging first-grade dry-quenched coke (both being ex-factory prices, cash-inclusive of tax). On April 30, metallurgical coke prices at Tianjin Port also held steady; current port quotes stand at 1,570 RMB/ton for quasi-first-grade coke and 1,670 RMB/ton for first-grade coke (both being warehouse-settlement prices via bank acceptance).

SunSirs Coke Analyst Commentary: The coke market is currently facing the dual pressures of oversupply and weak demand; consequently, the outlook for future price trends is not optimistic.
