  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a bullish rating for both coke and coking coal [1] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The Politburo meeting emphasized capacity governance in key industries and the regulation of disorderly competition. Some long - position funds took early profit due to previous under - performing policies and over - hyped expectations. The Sino - US trade talks extended the tariff suspension period by 90 days. The market trend on Thursday and Friday after important events will affect the subsequent strength. Although the market dipped after the Politburo meeting announcement on Wednesday, it rebounded. The market continued to decline on Thursday, with coking coal hitting the daily limit down, and it's still uncertain whether it has stabilized. After the major uncertainty is removed, the market will trade based on the long - term logic [4] - For coking coal, mine production declined, downstream restocking enthusiasm was high, and spot transaction rates were at a high level. Mine inventories were continuously transferred to downstream, and steel mills' restocking speeded up slightly this week. For coke, after the third and fourth rounds of price increases were quickly implemented, the fifth round was postponed, but the expectation of further price increases remained. High blast furnace profits supported coke demand [4] - Considering the coking coal's recent trends and positions, short - term funds that entered the market after the 23rd are likely to be stopped out. The current position has dropped significantly, and the price has almost returned to the level before the 23rd. The coking coal's trend in recent days is crucial for determining the future price direction. After the market sentiment is released, the profit distribution logic in the industrial chain will be traded. After coking coal hit the daily limit down on Thursday, the black - commodity sector rebounded at night, indicating a warming sentiment. The short - term market will fluctuate widely. It is recommended to hold long positions in J09 and JM09 lightly, shift positions to the January contract as long - positions dominate the shift, and decide whether to increase positions after the outcome of the long - short battle is clear [4][5] 3.
