Group 1: Report Information - Report Type: Coke and Coking Coal Daily Review [1] - Date: May 29, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Black Metal Research Team [3] - Researchers: Zhai Hepan, Nie Jiayi, Feng Zeren [3] Group 2: Market Performance Futures Market - On May 28, the main contracts 2509 of coke and coking coal futures oscillated downward, hitting new lows for September contracts since January 2017 and September 2016 respectively in the afternoon. The J2509 contract closed at 1338.5 yuan/ton, down 1.91%, with a trading volume of 21,100 lots and an open interest of 57,482 lots, an increase of 1,175 lots. The JM2509 contract closed at 779 yuan/ton, down 2.20%, with a trading volume of 537,375 lots and an open interest of 526,866 lots, an increase of 5,852 lots. The capital inflow/outflow was 0.03 billion yuan for J2509 and -0.73 billion yuan for JM2509 [5]. Spot Market - On May 28, the daily KDJ indicators of the coke and coking coal 2509 contracts declined, with the J and K values turning down and the D value continuing to slide. The daily MACD green bar of the coke 2509 contract continued to expand, while that of the coking coal 2509 contract turned to expand. The ex - warehouse price index of quasi - first - class metallurgical coke at Rizhao Port, Qingdao Port, and Tianjin Port was 1390 yuan/ton, with no change. The price in Tangshan was 1320 yuan/ton, also unchanged. The aggregated price of low - sulfur main coking coal in different regions remained stable [8]. Group 3: Market Outlook Coke - In the past 5 weeks, the coke production of independent coking plants has hovered near the highest level since early August last year, while the coke production of steel mills has slightly declined since late April. The coke inventory at ports has significantly decreased in the past 5 weeks, but the inventory reduction speed of steel mills and coking plants is slow, adding new downward pressure on coke prices. The profit per ton of coke turned from profit to loss after 2 consecutive weeks of profit, mainly because the second - round price increase of coke spot prices did not occur after the first - round increase in mid - April, creating conditions for steel mills to propose a price cut, which was implemented on May 16 [10]. Coking Coal - From January to April, the year - on - year growth of imports turned negative, but the absolute value of imports remained at a high level, and the overall loose pattern was difficult to reverse. The raw coal inventory of coal washing plants has significantly increased, and the clean coal inventory has risen again to a relatively high level. In the past 5 weeks, the inventory of independent coking plants has significantly decreased, and the port inventory has also returned to the normal level before early August last year, but the inventory of steel mills has increased steadily. If coking plants also adopt inventory reduction strategies while steel mills still have relatively sufficient inventory, coking coal prices are likely to fall rather than rise [10]. Overall - Although the weak market of coke and coking coal futures continues, and there may be new lows in the next two weeks, positive factors in the fundamentals and news are accumulating. Attention should be paid to whether a turning point of bottom - fishing rebound can occur in about the next two weeks under the changes in tariff policies and the recovery of confidence in the steel market [10] Group 4: Industry News - In April 2025, the national issuance of new bonds was 253.4 billion yuan, including 23.3 billion yuan of general bonds and 230.1 billion yuan of special bonds.
