焦炭现货价格总体稳定，焦化厂第八轮提涨遭遇钢厂抵制。港口准一级冶金湿焦出库价维持在1480元／ 吨左右，山西准一级湿焦出厂价约1330元／吨。尽管钢厂对捣固焦高价接受度不高，但受河北区域限 产、外采增加及货运等因素影响，前期现货涨价最终落地。随着钢厂限产推进，其对焦炭涨价的抵制意 愿增强，后续需重点关注钢焦企业之间的博弈，以及焦煤供应实际变化。 进口量增加促使焦煤供应环比回升。近期部分煤矿收紧产量，导致短期供应偏紧。据钢联数据，523家 煤矿产能利用率小幅下滑1.2个百分点，原煤日产量减少2.6万吨，预计国庆节前主产区产量难以明显恢 复。中期仍需关注超产整顿带来的不确定性。另外，8月蒙煤通关维持高位，9月海运煤进口预计继续增 加，焦煤总体供应呈上行趋势。 近期，受基本面压制，双焦价格出现调整。短期来看，在供给端扰动有限、需求端疲软背景下，双焦仍 存调整风险，但考虑到国庆节前补库需求、成材旺季预期以及海外降息带动市场风险偏好回升，预计后 市双焦下行空间或有限，整体以偏弱震荡运行为主。 现货价格方面，焦煤市场近期出现松动，流拍率上升，主要因河北地区焦钢企业限产期间持货意愿降 低。不过，其他区域企业盈利尚可，开工积 ...
