Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Downstream steel mills' hot metal production is falling, leading to a slowdown in coal and coke demand. Steel mills' coke production has changed little, with a slight increase in daily average coke output, a decline in inventory, and a decrease in available days. The profitability of coking enterprises in the middle - stream has improved due to the weakening of coking coal prices, but production remains poor with a month - on - month decrease in coke output. Upstream mines have accelerated production, increasing coking coal output. Overall, coking profits have rebounded significantly month - on - month. The demand side has limited support, while the supply side has a marginal increase. After continuous adjustments of coking coal and coke, attention should be paid to the previous low support, and the futures prices are expected to show a volatile trend [1][5][6].
