Report Information - Report Type: Coke and Coking Coal Daily Review [1] - Date: October 31, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] - Researchers: Zhai Hepan, Nie Jiayi, Feng Zeren [3] 1. Market Review and Future Outlook 1.1 Spot Market Dynamics and Technical Analysis - On October 30, the main contracts of coke and coking coal futures 2601 rose slightly and then gave back some of the previous day's gains [7] - The closing prices of coke J2601 and coking coal JM2601 were 1786.5 yuan/ton and 1288 yuan/ton respectively, with daily price changes of -0.59% and -1.62% [5] - The KDJ indicator of the coke 2601 contract showed a divergent trend, with the J and K values turning down and the D value continuing to rise, showing a potential dead - cross. The MACD red bar of the coke 2601 contract narrowed, while that of the coking coal 2601 contract continued to expand slightly [10] - The spot prices of quasi - first - grade metallurgical coke at Rizhao, Qingdao, and Tianjin ports remained unchanged at 1570 yuan/ton. The price of low - sulfur main coking coal in Handan increased by 50 yuan/ton, while prices in other regions remained stable [10] 1.2 Future Outlook - Policy: On October 24, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a new draft of the "Implementation Measures for Capacity Replacement in the Iron and Steel Industry", with stricter replacement ratio requirements. Tangshan planned a 30% blast furnace production limit from October 27 for 4 days due to environmental protection [11] - Fundamentals: Recent coke production from independent coking enterprises and steel producers has declined. Coke inventories at ports and independent coking enterprises are generally low, leading to a demand for the third round of price increases, expected to be implemented by the end of the month. Cold weather in northern regions and stricter coal mine safety inspections have pushed up coal prices. Coking coal port inventories are low, and although imports have recovered, the January - September imports are still down by over 6% year - on - year, causing a significant jump in coking coal spot prices [11] - Outlook: Coke and coking coal futures are expected to continue their upward trend, supported by positive news and the spot market. After a short - term sharp rebound, there may be a phased correction, but the overall upward trend is difficult to reverse. Future attention should be paid to the impact of rising temperatures on coal demand and the positive cycle effect of steel market profit recovery on the coal - coke market [12] 2. Industry News - Sino - US Trade: On October 30, the US will cancel the 10% "fentanyl tariff" on Chinese goods and continue to suspend the 24% tariff for another year.
