Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - The market sentiment was reignited by the news of strict inspections on over - production in Shanxi coal mines, and the far - month contracts of coking coal hit the daily limit first.

The "anti - involution" policy may be hyped repeatedly, and the coking coal futures price is expected to be more volatile.
