Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The short - term outlook for the coke industry is a continuation of the rebound, and a low - buying strategy is recommended [2] Group 2: Core View of the Report - The supply - demand pattern of coke is affected by upstream coking coal costs, downstream steel demand, and macro - policy guidance. Currently, the comprehensive inventories of coking coal and coke are rising, and the overall supply - demand is weak. However, with a relatively stable downstream steel mill hot metal output, increasing coking losses, strong price - raising intentions of coking enterprises, and a warm macro - environment, the coke market is expected to continue to rebound in the short term [2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market Analysis - As of January 23, due to the expanding losses, the production enthusiasm of some small and medium - sized enterprises declined.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests a short - term oscillatory outlook for coke, with a low - buying strategy [3] Core Viewpoint - The supply - demand pattern of coke is directly affected by upstream coking coal costs, downstream steel demand, and macro - policy orientation. With the continuous increase in the comprehensive inventories of coking coal and coke during the seasonal inventory accumulation period, the overall supply - demand is weak. Although the iron - water output of downstream steel mills is relatively stable and there is still demand resilience in the short - term, the medium - and long - term demand shows a downward trend due to the expanding decline in real estate investment growth. Considering the overall warm macro - atmosphere and the implementation of domestic reserve requirement ratio cuts, the coke market is expected to be mainly oscillatory in the short - term [3] Details from Related Catalogs Market Analysis - Coke Inventory: As of January 16, the inventory of independent coking enterprises decreased by 4.95% month - on - month to 81.81 tons, the inventory of steel mills increased to 650.33 tons, the port inventory increased by 6.41% to 265.07 tons, and the comprehensive coke inventory increased by 16.31 tons to 997.21 tons, reaching a near 7 - month high and a year - on - year decrease of over 2% [1] - Profit: The average profit per ton of coke for 30 independent coking plants nationwide is - 65 yuan/ton, with different average profits in various regions.

The sales area of newly built commercial housing was 88101 million square meters, a decrease of 8.7% from the previous year. The funds in place for real estate development enterprises were 93117 billion yuan, a decrease of 13.4% from the previous year [2] Main Logic - The supply - demand pattern of coke is affected by upstream coking coal costs, downstream steel demand, and macro - policy orientation. The comprehensive inventories of coking coal and coke continue to rise, and the supply - demand is weak. The iron - water output of downstream steel mills is relatively stable, with short - term demand resilience, but the medium - and long - term demand continues to decline. The macro - atmosphere is warm, and after the domestic reserve requirement ratio cut, the market awaits further policy guidance. It is expected that coke will be mainly oscillatory in the short - term. The previous low of the main coke contract is 1625.5, and the previous high is 1817.5. Attention should be paid to the support at the previous low and the pressure at the previous high [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoint of the Report - The report anticipates that coke will continue its short - term rebound, and suggests a low - buying strategy. Traders should focus on the support at the previous low and the resistance at the previous high [2] 3.

The comprehensive coking coal inventory is significantly lower than in previous years, while the comprehensive coke inventory is at a moderately high level, with overall weak supply - demand. During the seasonal inventory - building period of downstream steel mills, the hot metal output continues to rise, and the pre - holiday inventory replenishment boosts the short - term demand for coking coal and coke. There are still expectations of interest rate cuts by the domestic central bank and the Federal Reserve. The opening price of the main coke contract today is 1755, the closing price is 1745, the previous low is 1719, the previous high is 1817, and the position decreased by 1163 lots during the day [2]

Core Viewpoints - The supply - demand pattern of coke is directly affected by upstream coking coal costs, downstream steel demand, and macro - policies. The overall supply - demand is weak, but the short - term demand is boosted due to the seasonal inventory build - up of downstream steel mills and the increase in hot metal production. Considering factors like interest - rate cut expectations and production - cut news, the coke is expected to continue its short - term rebound [2] 3.
