On March 11, the coke market was mainly stable and weak. The market price of secondary metallurgical coke in Shanxi was about 2,380 RMB/ ton.

Coking enterprises are active in shipping, but affected by the control of environmental protection policies, the shipping and loading and unloading in some areas have been affected, and the coke supply is relatively sufficient on the whole. Most of the coke supply still flows to the steel plant, and the traders' purchasing enthusiasm is low.
