Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The supply of coking coal and coke continues to shrink, with some previously shut - down or reduced - production coal mines not fully restored, and the import situation is not optimistic. Demand is weakening as coke enterprise开工 and steel mill hot - metal production decline. The rebound in prices is driven by short - covering and the approaching traditional peak season for thermal coal demand. The report advises caution on the height of the rebound, suggesting a wait - and - see approach for coking coal and short - term operations for coke [63] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.
