On the 29th, the coke prices in the Yuncheng market were relatively strong. With the comprehensive implementation of seven consecutive rounds of coke price increases, the profits of coke enterprises in the Yuncheng region have been restored, and most coke enterprises are currently in a low profit state. The transportation and shipment of coke enterprises are smooth, and the production of coke enterprises in the region is stable. The coke inventory in the factory is running at a low level; Downstream steel prices are fluctuating, and the daily production of molten iron remains high. Some steel mills have moderate coke inventory and purchase coke on demand. In the short term, coke prices in the Yuncheng area may be strong..

On the demand side: Currently, the daily average volume of molten iron is 240.13 tons, and it is expected that there will be a significant decline in molten iron next week. The competition between coke and steel will intensify, and it is expected that the short-term coke market will face a dilemma of ups and downs.

The coke analyst from SunSirs believes that the coke market is expected to maintain its current trend in September. Currently, the coke market prices are mainly stable with small fluctuations, and it is expected that the coke market will operate strongly in the short term.
