Report Summary - The double - coking futures market showed weak consolidation this week. Trading volume decreased by 3.788 million lots compared to last week. After the exchange restricted positions and raised trading fees, the trading volume of the coking coal main contract dropped significantly, and speculative sentiment cooled down. The "anti - involution" related varieties also cooled down. The market gradually returned to reality. Steel mills and spot - futures traders' purchasing willingness weakened. Independent coking enterprises' coke inventory increased from a decline, and the raw material coking coal inventory continued to be destocked for three weeks with weak restocking enthusiasm. The upstream inventory destocking rate slowed down, and a small inventory accumulation inflection point affected market sentiment. However, the profitability rate of steel enterprises fluctuated at a high level, billet export data was excellent, and hot metal production remained at a high level, supporting the consumption of double - coking. The overall upstream coking coal inventory was lower than last year, reducing inventory pressure. Due to the approaching "93 Parade" and industry production restrictions, the market lacked new driving factors and mainly oscillated at a high level [6][35]. - As of August 19, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 58.79%, a week - on - week increase of 0.02 percentage points. Non - housing project capital availability rate was 60.47%, up 0.12 percentage points week - on - week, while housing project capital availability rate was 50.57%, down 0.60 percentage points week - on - week. 45% of 22 Tangshan steel mills plan to conduct maintenance but await notice, 32% have confirmed maintenance, and 23% will not conduct maintenance. The known daily hot metal impact in Tangshan is about 41,800 tons, with a total hot metal volume of 370,000 - 450,000 tons. In July, the domestic billet export volume was 1.5798 million tons, a month - on - month increase of 34.37% and a year - on - year increase of 349.07%. From January to July, the total billet export volume was 7.472 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 309.72%. The US added 407 product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list with a 50% tax rate [7]. - The supply of coking coal increased slightly. The upstream coking coal inventory destocking slowed down. Independent coking enterprises' coking coal restocking enthusiasm continued to weaken, and their coke inventory increased from a decline. Steel mills' restocking willingness for coking coal and coke was divided. The overall coke production changed little. Hot metal production remained high, and coke demand was resilient. The seventh round of coke price increase was implemented with a delay [7]. Bull - Bear Focus - Bullish factors include reduced coking coal inventory pressure, expected supply reduction of coking coal, and high - level hot metal production supporting demand [10]. - Bearish factors include the slowdown of coking coal downstream restocking rhythm and the gradual recovery of Mongolian coal imports [10]. Data Analysis Coking Coal Supply - The operating rate of 523 sample mines was 85.21%, a 1.48% increase from last week, and the daily average clean coal output was 771,300 tons, an increase of 7,200 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 36.05%, a 0.46% decrease from last week, and the daily output was 257,200 tons, a decrease of 6,800 tons. As of August 16, the customs clearance volume at the Ganqimao Port was 870,885 tons, and domestic supply increased slightly [15]. Coking Coal Inventory - As of August 22, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 2.7564 million tons, an increase of 179,700 tons. The clean coal inventory of 314 sample coal washing plants was 2.9484 million tons, a decrease of 21,900 tons. The port coking coal inventory was 2.6149 million tons, an increase of 60,000 tons. The downstream restocking rhythm continued to slow down, and mines had inventory accumulation for two consecutive weeks, but the overall inventory pressure was not large [17]. Independent Coking Enterprises - As of August 22, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coking enterprises was 9.6641 million tons, a decrease of 104,700 tons. The inventory available days were 11.1 days, a decrease of 0.13 days. The coke inventory was 643,700 tons, an increase of 18,600 tons. Steel mills and spot - futures traders' purchasing willingness weakened, and coking enterprises' coking coal inventory was destocked for three weeks with weak restocking enthusiasm [18]. Steel Mills - As of August 22, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises was 8.1231 million tons, an increase of 65,100 tons. The inventory available days were 13.07 days, an increase of 0.1 days. The coke inventory was 6.0959 million tons, a decrease of 2,100 tons. The available days were 10.76 days, a decrease of 0.07 days. Steel mills' restocking enthusiasm for coke was weaker than that for coking coal [22]. Coke Production - As of August 22, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coking enterprises was 74.42%, a 0.08% increase from the previous period, and the daily average metallurgical coke output was 654,500 tons, an increase of 700 tons. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises was 86.17%, and the daily coke output was 467,300 tons, the same as last week. Coking enterprise output increased slightly for 6 consecutive weeks, and steel mill output was stable [24]. Coke Demand - As of August 22, China's coke consumption was 1.0834 million tons, an increase of 400 tons. The daily average hot metal output of 247 steel enterprises was 2.4075 million tons, an increase of 900 tons. The profitability rate of steel enterprises was 64.94%, a 0.86% decrease from last week. High - level profitability prevented active production cuts, and high - level hot metal production supported coke consumption [29]. Coke Price Increase - As of August 22, the average profit per ton of independent coking enterprises was 23 yuan/ton, and the profit situation continued to improve. On the 22nd, steel mills in Shandong and Hebei markets raised the coke purchase price. The wet - quenched coke increased by 50 yuan/ton, and the dry - quenched coke increased by 55 yuan/ton. The seventh - round price increase was implemented with a delay, and the game between steel and coking enterprises intensified [30]. Double - Coking Basis Structure - The spot and futures prices of double - coking oscillated at a high level [32]. Market Outlook - The trading volume decreased by 3.788 million lots compared to last week. After the exchange's measures, the trading volume of the coking coal main contract dropped, and speculative sentiment cooled down. The market returned to reality, with weak restocking enthusiasm and a slowdown in upstream inventory destocking. However, high - level steel enterprise profitability, excellent billet export data, and high - level hot metal production supported double - coking consumption. Due to the approaching "93 Parade" and production restrictions, the market lacked new driving factors and mainly oscillated at a high level [35]. - The seventh - round coke price increase was implemented with a delay. As coking enterprise profitability improved, rising raw material prices eroded steel mill profits, and the game between the two intensified. Independent coking enterprises' coke inventory pressure decreased, and in the short term, the coke futures market would follow the coking coal market [38].

Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, the double - coking futures market oscillated upward, partially recovering from last week's decline. The trading volume of the main coking coal contract increased significantly, with a weekly increase of 12.31%. Currently, the divergence between long and short sides has intensified, and the market volatility has expanded. From the fundamental perspective, as the inventory pressure at the Ganqimao Port eases, the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal continues to rise, while the domestic supply is affected by weather and production restrictions, with limited room for output growth. The inventory of coking coal in independent coking enterprises has changed from continuous replenishment for a month to destocking. The downstream replenishment pace has slowed down, and the upstream inventory depletion rate has decreased. However, as the overall inventory is lower than that of the same period last year, the upstream inventory pressure of coking coal has been significantly reduced. This week, the profitability rate of steel enterprises has increased, making it difficult to force active production cuts. Although the molten iron output has slightly declined, it remains at a high level, supporting the consumption of coke. At present, the spot market is cautious in following up, and the short - term upward momentum of prices has slowed down, with high - level oscillations for digestion [6][33]. Summary According to the Table of Contents Report Summary - From August 4th to 6th, the power consumption load in the operating area of the State Grid Corporation reached a record high for three consecutive days, with the maximum load reaching 1.233 billion kilowatts, an increase of 53 million kilowatts compared to the extreme value of 1.18 billion kilowatts last year [5]. - This week, the double - coking futures market oscillated upward, with the trading volume of the main coking coal contract increasing significantly. The divergence between long and short sides has intensified, and the market volatility has expanded. The customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal is rising, while the domestic supply growth is limited. The downstream replenishment pace has slowed down, but the upstream inventory pressure has been reduced. The molten iron output remains high, and the consumption of coke is supported. The spot market is cautious, and the price upward momentum has slowed down [6]. - The newly revised "Coal Mine Safety Regulations" will be implemented on February 1, 2026. The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy. As of August 5th, the sample construction site capital availability rate was 58.5%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.2 percentage points [7]. Multi - empty Focus - **Bullish factors**: The coking coal inventory is lower than that of last year, reducing inventory pressure; there is an expected decrease in coking coal supply; the molten iron output is at a high level, supporting demand [10]. - **Bearish factors**: The downstream replenishment pace of coking coal has slowed down; the import volume of Mongolian coal is gradually increasing [10]. Data Analysis - **Coking coal supply**: The domestic supply of coking coal has limited room for growth, while the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal is rising. The operating rate of 523 sample mines decreased by 2.42% week - on - week, and the daily average output of clean coal decreased by 21,700 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants increased by 1.19% week - on - week, and the daily output increased by 5,900 tons. As of August 2nd, the customs clearance volume at the Ganqimao Port was 927,450 tons [14]. - **Coking coal upstream inventory**: As of the week of August 8th, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines decreased by 26,000 tons, while that of 110 sample coal washing plants increased by 21,000 tons. The port inventory decreased by 47,700 tons. The downstream replenishment pace has slowed down, but the overall inventory is lower than that of last year [15]. - **Coking enterprise inventory**: As of August 8th, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coking enterprises decreased by 48,100 tons, and the available days decreased by 0.11 days. The coke inventory decreased by 38,900 tons. The coking coal inventory has changed from continuous replenishment to destocking [18]. - **Steel enterprise inventory**: As of August 8th, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises increased by 48,700 tons, and the available days increased by 0.12 days. The coke inventory decreased by 74,100 tons, and the available days decreased by 0.26 days. Steel enterprises continue to replenish coking coal slightly but destock coke [22]. - **Coke output**: As of August 8th, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coking enterprises increased by 0.34%, and the daily average output of metallurgical coke increased by 2,900 tons. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises decreased by 0.32%, and the daily coke output decreased by 1,700 tons. Overall, the coke output has changed little [24]. - **Molten iron output and coke demand**: As of the week of August 8th, China's coke consumption decreased by 1,800 tons, and the daily average molten iron output decreased by 3,900 tons. The profitability rate of steel enterprises increased to 68.4%, making it difficult to force active production cuts. Although the molten iron output has slightly declined, it remains high, supporting coke demand [27]. - **Coke price increase**: As of the week of August 8th, the average loss per ton of coke in independent coking enterprises was 16 yuan/ton, which improved significantly compared to last week. The fifth round of coke price increase was fully implemented, with a 50 - yuan/ton increase for wet - quenched coke and a 55 - yuan/ton increase for dry - quenched coke in Hebei, Shandong and other places starting from 0:00 on August 4th. The implementation by steel enterprises was delayed compared to the price increase proposed by coking enterprises [28]. - **Double - coking far - month basis structure**: The spot price increase has slowed down [30]. Market Outlook - The trading volume of the main coking coal contract increased significantly, and the divergence between long and short sides has intensified. The customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal is rising, while the domestic supply growth is limited. The downstream replenishment pace has slowed down, but the upstream inventory pressure has been reduced. The molten iron output remains high, and the consumption of coke is supported. The spot market is cautious, and the price upward momentum has slowed down [33]. - The sixth round of coke price increase has started. Some coking enterprises have issued price increase notices, with a 50 - yuan/ton increase for tamping wet - quenched coke and a 55 - yuan/ton increase for tamping dry - quenched coke starting from August 11th. As the frequency of price increases accelerates, the acceptance of steel enterprises has gradually decreased, and the game between steel and coking enterprises has intensified. In the short term, the coke futures market is significantly affected by coking coal [36].
