The capacity utilization rate of 314 coal washing plants was 26.57% (+3.84%), and the daily average output of clean coal was 19.9 tons (+2.99). Most coal mines in major producing areas have resumed normal production, and the supply of imported Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port has also returned to a high level [3]. - Demand: The daily output of molten iron from 247 steel mills was 227.59 tons (-5.69), and the blast furnace operating rate was 77.71% (-2.51). The available days of coking coal in 247 steel mills were 12.41 days (-0.24), and those in 230 independent coking plants were 11.88 days (-0.4). During the important meetings, steel mills in North China limited production. After the production limit ends, downstream coking plants and steel mills are expected to replenish their inventories [3]. - Inventory: The clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 286.26 tons (+28.6), that of all - sample independent coking plants was 949.45 tons (-49.41), that of steel mills was 775.64 tons (-16.82), that of 314 sample coal washing plants was 288.53 tons (-10.4), and that of major ports was 267.7 tons (-4.27). Currently, except for a slight accumulation of mine inventories, the inventories of other coking plants, coal washing plants, and steel mills have decreased [3]. - Summary: Last week, the supply of the coking coal market increased. With the end of production limits, downstream demand is expected to recover, and the supply - demand structure is expected to gradually improve. It is expected to remain volatile and slightly strong in the short term [3]. Coke Fundamentals - Supply: The average profit per ton of coke in coking plants was 17 yuan/ton (+24). The capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coking plants was 73.95% (-0.41%), and the daily output was 63.94 tons (-0.76). The daily output of coke from 247 steel mills was 47 tons (-0.1). During the Two Sessions, some coking enterprises in Hebei limited production, and overall production remained stable [4]. - Demand: The daily output of molten iron from 247 steel mills was 227.59 tons (-5.69), and the blast furnace operating rate was 77.71% (-2.51). The available days of coke in 247 steel mills were 12.53 days (+0.12). After the production limit ends, the demand for coke replenishment is expected to increase [4]. - Inventory: The inventory of all - sample independent coking plants was 110.3 tons (+2.48), that of major ports was 203.11 tons (+6.01), and that of 247 steel mills was 671.26 tons (-3.85). The overall social inventory of coke increased slightly [4]. - Summary: The supply - demand situation of coke is weak, but with the recovery of molten iron production and the increase in raw material coking coal prices, the market is expected to be volatile and slightly strong. Attention should be paid to the demand recovery situation [4].
