煤焦：焦价三轮提涨落地，关注需求变化

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2) Core Viewpoint of the Report The macro - driving force has weakened, the sector is oscillating weakly; in the short term, the supply - demand of coal and coke has marginal fluctuations, generally remaining at a relatively high level, with no significant inventory pressure, and the price is oscillating in the range of 1080 - 1320 [3]. 3) Summary According to Relevant Contents Market Situation - Affected by the weak prices of steel and ore, the futures prices of coal and coke followed the downward trend, and the prices fell after reaching the upper limit of the 1080 - 1320 oscillation range. The spot market is generally stable with a slight upward trend, and the third round of coke price increases has been gradually implemented, with a cumulative increase of 150 - 165 yuan/ton [2]. - The DCE issued an announcement on publicly soliciting opinions on adjusting the coking coal delivery quality standard. The overall content has little change, mainly adjusting the premium and discount range of the reaction strength and sulfur content after coking coal is made into coke, and the new standard further aligns the mainstream delivery mines with Shanxi coal, having no impact on the current existing contracts [2]. Fundamental Data - Last week, the daily average output of coking coal from domestic coal mines was 75.8 tons, a slight decrease of 0.3 tons compared with the previous week [3]. - At the import end, the daily average clearance volume of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port last week rebounded to 16.43 tons, an increase of 5.6 tons compared with the previous week, returning to a relatively high level [3]. - The steel mill profit continued to shrink, and the profitability rate dropped to about 45%. Historically, the current profitability rate will not lead to large - scale production cuts by steel mills. The daily average pig iron output last week dropped to 236.36 tons, a decrease of 3.55 tons compared with the previous week, mainly due to environmental protection pressure in some areas of Hebei [3]. Later Concerns - With the approaching end of the peak demand season, the pressure on finished products is increasing, and the pig iron output tends to decline. Attention should be paid to the transmission of pressure to the raw material end [3]. - Later, attention should be paid to the changes in the blast furnace start - up of steel mills and the resumption of production in coal mines [3].
