Market Conditions 1.1 Futures Market - On May 30, the main contract J2509 of coking coal futures hit a new low since January 2017 for the September contract, with the decline narrowing.

Technical Analysis - On May 30, the daily KDJ indicators of the coking coal 2509 contract showed a divergent trend, with the J and K values turning up and the D value continuing to decline, showing a potential golden cross. The daily KDJ indicators of the coking coal 2509 contract continued to diverge downward. The daily MACD green bars of the coking coal 2509 contract continued to expand slightly, while those of the coking coal 2509 contract expanded further [8]. 3. Outlook 3.1 Coking Coal - In the past 5 weeks, the coking coal production of independent coking plants has slightly declined after hovering near the highest level since early August last year. The coking coal production of steel mills has also slightly declined compared to late April. In the past 6 weeks, the coking coal inventory at ports has significantly decreased, but the de - stocking speed of steel mills is slow, and the inventory of coking plants has started to accumulate, adding new downward pressure on coking coal prices. The profit per ton of coking coal has been in the red for 2 consecutive weeks, mainly due to two rounds of price cuts for coking coal in mid - and late May, hitting a new low in recent years [10]. 3.2 Coking Coal - From January to April, the year - on - year growth of imports turned negative, but the absolute value of imports remained high, and the overall loose supply pattern was difficult to reverse. The raw coal inventory of coal washing plants first increased and then decreased, and the clean coal inventory rose again to a relatively high level. In the past 6 weeks, the inventory of independent coking plants has significantly decreased, and the port inventory has also returned to the normal level before early August last year, but the steel mill inventory has increased steadily. With steel mills still having relatively sufficient inventory, if coking plants also adopt a de - stocking strategy, coking coal prices are likely to fall rather than rise [10]. 3.3 Overall - Although the weak market for coking coal and coke futures continues, and there may still be new lows in early June, positive factors in the fundamentals and news are accumulating. Attention should be paid to whether a turnaround in the market can occur around early June due to changes in tariff policies and the recovery of confidence in the steel market [10]. 4. Industry News - On May 29, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued an opinion on improving the market - based allocation system for resource and environmental factors, aiming to improve the carbon market coverage and other aspects by 2027 [11]. - The third - round and fourth - batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspections were launched, targeting 5 provinces and 3 central enterprises [11]. - Zhang Guoqing emphasized safety production at the launch ceremony of the 2025 National "Safety Production Month" [12]. - Sansteel Minguang's production, capacity replacement, fuel procurement, and sales situation were introduced, and it believed that relevant production - restriction policies were reasonable and necessary [12]. - Shanxi Coking Coal International Energy will focus on its main business in 2025 and optimize resource allocation [12]. - Shaanxi Energy's profit decline in the first quarter was due to lower power generation and coal sales prices [12]. - As of May 30, the coal inventory at Qinhuangdao Port was 6.75 million tons, showing different changes compared to the previous week, month, and year [13]. - Yitai B - share completed the tender offer for ST Xinchao's controlling stake [13]. - Tongbao Energy will manage its coal inventory according to market conditions [13]. - From January to April 2025, China's shipbuilding industry maintained its leading position globally, and the industry's boom cycle is expected to continue [13]. - The US Federal Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily suspended the ruling against Trump's tariff measures [14]. - The OECD report pointed out that planned capacity expansion may exacerbate global steel over - capacity [14]. - Clean energy accounted for an increasing proportion of US power generation in March and April [14]. - Turkey's coal imports in April 2025 increased year - on - year and month - on - month [14]. - Bayan Resources' coal sales volume in the first quarter of this year increased significantly, but the average selling price was lower than expected [14]. 5.
