In terms of origin, the price of coking coal is temporarily stable, and the market trading atmosphere is fair. However, the supply of coking coal has been tightened because the Spring Festival will be the main time for safe production.

The coking enterprise has a good shipping situation, and the enterprise is actively shipping. At present, the inventory in the plant is low. In terms of demand, as the winter storage of the steel plant comes to an end, the steel plant mainly purchases coke on demand.
From the perspective of the coking coal analysts of SunSirs, the price of coking coal is stable but dynamic, and the market trading atmosphere is fair. Recently, the steel mills mainly purchase coke on demand, and the coke purchase enthusiasm is average. However, the supply and demand game shows that the coking coal price is still operating at a high price, and the downstream market demand is specific.
