Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - Coke: This week, coke continued its pattern of declining supply and demand. As of the week ending October 24, the combined coke production of independent coking plants and steel - mill coking plants was 1107200 tons, a weekly decrease of 5100 tons. The daily average hot - metal production of 247 steel mills was 239900 tons, a weekly decrease of 10500 tons. In terms of inventory, coke accumulated in the upstream and mid - stream. Independent coking plants saw a stock increase of 13500 tons, and the four major ports had a stock increase of 49400 tons, while the coke inventory of downstream steel mills decreased by 62800 tons week - on - week. Overall, the game between upstream and downstream of coke intensified, with insufficient fundamental support. The relative positives were the cost support from coking coal and the sentiment support from the warming of domestic and international macro - environments [6][35]. - Coking Coal: As of the week ending October 24, the daily average clean coal production of 523 coking coal mines nationwide was 76100 tons, a decrease of 1800 tons compared to the previous week and 1700 tons compared to the same period last year. In terms of imports, from the 13th to the 18th, the total number of vehicles passing through the Ganqimao Port was 7220. Political unrest in Mongolia in the middle and late October temporarily disrupted port clearance efficiency, and it was expected to basically recover by next week. The combined coke production of independent coking plants and steel - mill coking plants decreased by 5100 tons week - on - week. In terms of inventory, the upstream coal mine inventory decreased by 15900 tons, while the coking coal inventory of downstream independent coking plants increased significantly by 323300 tons to 1029700 tons. The economic and trade consultations between China and the United States from October 24th to 27th in Malaysia boosted the overall sentiment of the commodity market. Coking coal, as one of the leading varieties since the anti - involution, remained a key variety favored by long - position funds. Overall, there were no obvious short - term changes in the fundamentals of coking coal. Strong expectations supported the main coking coal contract to fluctuate strongly. Future attention should be paid to the results of Sino - US trade measures and supply changes in major production areas [7][36]. 3.
