煤焦：铁水减产预期落地，钢厂计划提降焦价

Group 1 - Report industry investment rating: Not provided Group 2 - The core view of the report: The production cut expectations at both the supply and demand ends of coking coal and coke have been realized, and production will gradually resume in the short term, but the resumption process remains to be observed; the market sentiment is generally cooling down, and prices are under pressure [3] Group 3 Market condition summary - Yesterday, the overall prices of coking coal and coke futures first declined and then rose, with a slight increase during the night session. As the 09 contract entered the delivery month, the futures prices moved from premium to flat or even discount due to weak willingness to buy for delivery, dragging down the prices of other contracts. On the spot side, the high - priced resources of some coal mines had weak trading, with prices stable or slightly lower. Hebei steel mills started to lower coke prices, with wet - quenched coke down 50 yuan/ton and dry - quenched coke down 55 yuan/ton, to be implemented at 0:00 on September 8, 2025 [2] Supply situation - Since this week, affected by the military parade, many coal mines in Shanxi have carried out centralized maintenance, mostly for 2 - 3 days. The regional and large - scale shutdown of coal mines, combined with the cancellation of night shifts in some areas, led to a significant decline in production. However, as most coal mines had short shutdown times and many resumed production on September 4, the coking coal production in the main producing areas is expected to recover rapidly next week [2] Demand situation - This week, the steel mill production cut expectations were realized. The average daily hot metal output of 247 steel mill blast furnaces was 228.84 tons, a decrease of 11.29 tons compared to the previous week and an increase of 6.23 tons year - on - year. The production cut was more obvious in the Tangshan market. Most steel mills resumed production on September 4, with a few delaying the resumption. In the short term, hot metal production tends to recover, but according to past experience, it is usually difficult for production to return to pre - cut levels after a decline in the second half of the year, especially in the fourth quarter, and raw material demand will face challenges later [2]
