Although the Sino - US trade relations eased this week and the market sentiment improved, the demand growth points in the fourth quarter are limited, and the steel mill's hot metal output is already at a high level with little room for growth. Technically, coking coal has strong short - term bottom support and may break through upwards today after a period of range - bound trading. The near - month contract has broken through the previous high and the range resistance level, so short positions are advised to stop losses reasonably according to the position, and long positions can continue to hold. The next resistance level is 1330 [1] Group 3: Summary According to the Catalog Market Quotes - Yesterday, the main coking coal contract Jm2601 closed at 1302.0, up 4.83% compared with the opening of the day session; the main coke contract J2601 closed at 1801.0, up 3.06% compared with the opening of the day session.

Macroscopically, Sino - US trade relations have eased, but the fourth - quarter demand growth is limited, and steel mill's hot metal output has little room for growth. Attention should be paid to the traffic and inventory situation of Mongolian coal at Ganqimaodu Port to see if it can recover in the short term. Technically, coking coal has strong short - term bottom support and may break through upwards today after range - bound trading [1] Trading Strategy - The near - month contract has broken through the previous high and the range resistance level.
