Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The upward potential of coking coal and coke before the Spring Festival is expected to be a weak rebound. Recent price fluctuations are mainly influenced by news rather than fundamental factors, and the sustainability of these fluctuations is questionable. - The current market trading logic focuses on several aspects: the multi - short game near the delivery date, the topic of anti - involution in the coal industry, and the expected tightening of imported coal supply, though the authenticity of the latter has not been confirmed. - Given the current supply - demand imbalance and the limited driving force of the winter storage replenishment market, sentiment can amplify price fluctuations. It is advisable to consider gradually closing out the previous 1 - 5 inverse spreads [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Coal and Coke Weekly Outlook 3.1.1 Supply - Some domestic coal mines have reduced production and carried out maintenance after completing their annual production tasks, leading to a significant short - term decline in output. Pit - mouth coal prices are supported by strong sentiment. The market trading atmosphere is cautious, with low speculative purchasing by traders and only rigid demand from end - users. High - priced coking coal resources face significant resistance in transactions. - In terms of imports, port trading enterprises are experiencing poor sales, and downstream market inquiries are weak. There are still expectations of price cuts in the domestic coking coal and coke market. However, the Ganqimaodu port continues to operate at a high level of customs clearance, and the port inventory has exceeded 3.8 million tons [3]. 3.1.2 Demand - Pig iron production remains at a low level, with an average daily output of 2.2658 million tons this week. The winter storage market has been delayed, and the supply - demand imbalance in the coke market persists. There is still a possibility of a fourth round of price cuts [6]. 3.1.3 Inventory - This week, the total coking coal inventory increased by 909,000 tons week - on - week, with inventory accumulation in all sectors, mainly in the upstream and intermediate sectors. Near the end of the year, port customs clearance remains high, and some port inventories have been transferred to coal washing plants. The coking coal inventory of coal washing plants increased by 253,000 tons week - on - week, and the total inventory of the three ports increased by 259,000 tons [6]. 3.1.4 Market Data | Fundamental Changes | Coal | Coke | | --- | --- | --- | | Supply | FW raw coal 8.3473 million tons (- 58,200 tons); FW clean coal 4.2769 million tons (- 43,900 tons) | Independent coking plants' daily average output 627,000 tons (- 3,000 tons); Steel mills and coking enterprises' daily average output 468,000 tons (+ 3,000 tons) | | Demand | Pig iron production 2.2658 million tons (+ 300 tons) | Pig iron production 2.2658 million tons (+ 300 tons) | | Inventory | MS total inventory + 909,000 tons; Mine raw coal - 34,200 tons; Independent coking + 34,000 tons; Mine clean coal + 17,400 tons; Steel mill coking + 17,000 tons; Port + 234,000 tons; Port + 259,000 tons | MS total inventory + 144,000 tons; Independent coking + 11,000 tons; Steel mill + 85,000 tons; Port + 47,000 tons | | Profit | Commodity coal 515 yuan/ton (- 3 yuan/ton) | Average profit of coking enterprises 34 yuan/ton (- 26 yuan/ton) | | Warehouse Receipt | Mongolian 5 coal warehouse receipt in Tangshan 1,159 yuan/ton | Rizhao quasi - first - grade coke warehouse receipt 1,600 yuan/ton | [8] 3.2 Coking Coal Fundamental Data 3.2.1 Supply - Weekly and monthly data on coking coal supply from domestic mines and Mongolian coal customs clearance are presented, including the production of raw coal, clean coal, and the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal at various ports [10][12][14]. 3.2.2 Inventory - Pit - mouth inventory: This week, the raw coal inventory of sample mines decreased by 34,200 tons to 2.0466 million tons, while the clean coal inventory increased by 17,400 tons to 1.3489 million tons. - Port inventory: This week, the coking coal port inventory was 2.995 million tons, an increase of 133,000 tons week - on - week. - Coking plant inventory: Data on the inventory and available days of coking coal in coking plants are provided, including overall and regional data. - Steel mill inventory: Data on the inventory and available days of coking coal in steel mills are provided, including overall and regional data [23][25][28][33]. 3.3 Coke Fundamental Data 3.3.1 Supply - Data on the capacity utilization rate and production of coke in coking plants and steel mills are presented, including overall and regional data [37][43][45][47]. 3.3.2 Inventory - Data on the inventory and available days of coke in coking plants, steel mills, and the overall sample are provided, including overall and regional data [49][50][55]. 3.3.3 Demand - Pig iron production is used as an indicator of coke demand, with an average daily output of 2.2658 million tons this week [6]. 3.3.4 Profit - Data on the profit of coke production, including the disk profit of coke futures and the average profit per ton of independent coking enterprises, are presented [60]. 3.4 Coal and Coke Futures and Spot Prices 3.4.1 Futures - Data on the futures prices, trading volumes, and open interests of coking coal 2601 and 2605 contracts, as well as coke 2601 and 2605 contracts, are provided, including daily price changes [64][68]. 3.4.2 Month - to - Month Spread - Data on the month - to - month spreads of coking coal and coke futures are presented [71]. 3.4.3 Spot - Spot prices of different types of coking coal and coke are provided, including the car - board price of coking coal and the ex - factory price of coke [73]. 3.4.4 Basis - Data on the basis of coking coal and coke futures are presented [76][77].
