The price of coking coal in the domestic market continued to fluctuate strongly. On the supply side, there is still a gap in the supply of coking coal. In particular, structural problems with coal types are difficult to fix. Against the backdrop of strict domestic safety supervision, coking coal production is recovering very slowly. Today, the price of coking and blending coal for mainstream mining in Changzhi rose by 50 yuan/ton, and the average transaction price of high-sulfur main coking coal in Luliang and Xiaoyi rose 62 yuan/ton to 1,736 yuan/ton. Online auction transactions are active, and the premium margin has increased markedly, and offline market prices have also followed suit. On the demand side, coking companies' losses widened further after the third round of coke lifting and landing. Steel mills also faced shrinking profit pressure. Coking coal showed relatively strong performance, supported by tight supply, but the demand-side suppression effect also accumulated simultaneously. Taken together, it is expected that coking coal prices will remain volatile in the short term, but there is limited room for upward movement.
