Report Information - Report Title: Black Metal Weekly - Coking Coal and Coke [1] - Date: December 12, 2025 [2] - Analyst: Bai Jing - Qualification Number: F03097282; Investment Consulting Certificate Number: Z0018999 [2] - Contact: TEL 82292661 [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document Core Viewpoints Coking Coal - This week, the second - round price reduction of coke started, and coking coal prices continued to be weak due to the weakening coking profit. Near the end of the year, some coal mines actively reduced production, and some mines had temporary production cuts. Although the local supply decreased this week, the recent increase in Mongolian coal customs clearance and the decline in demand led to an overall loose supply and downward pressure on prices. The January contract is currently at a large discount to the spot, and considering the high probability of non - standard delivery items, buyers' participation enthusiasm is not high, and short positions are relatively concentrated. It is not advisable to participate in long positions, and short positions can consider taking profits at low prices [6]. Coke - This week, the coke spot market was weak. The second - round price reduction was initiated in areas such as Hebei and Tianjin, putting pressure on prices. The supply - demand contradiction of coke is not significant. Recently, the demand in the coke market has been continuously declining. Under the pressure of blast furnace production cuts, coke enterprises may further seek profits from upstream. The current market sentiment is poor, and prices are under pressure for adjustment. The January contract is currently at a discount to the port wet - basis warehouse receipt price. Due to the continued expectation of price reduction in the market, prices may continue the pattern of volatile adjustment [43]. Summary by Directory Part One: Coking Coal Price - As of December 11, the warehouse receipt price of Mongolian No. 5 raw coal was 1068 yuan/ton (- 49), and that of high - quality coking coal in Anze, Shanxi was 1273 yuan/ton. The warehouse receipt price of Canadian Lukin was 1255 yuan/ton (- 1). The futures price of the main coking coal contract decreased, with a week - on - week decline of 10.83%, and the JM1 - 5 spread was - 71 (+ 13) yuan/ton [5]. Fundamentals - **Supply**: In December, more coal mines reduced production, and the local supply continued to decrease. Recent snowfall in the main production areas affected the downstream delivery rhythm, and some coal types temporarily stabilized due to limited resources. The operating rate of coking coal (523 enterprises) was 85.31%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.28 percentage points, and the daily average clean coal output was 750,000 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 3700 tons. In terms of imported seaborne coal, Australian mines continued to control supplies, while overseas terminal demand remained, and coal prices continued to rise due to tight supply. The forward transaction price of Australian quasi - first - line high - quality coking coal Goonyella rose to about FOB 209.9 US dollars, a week - on - week increase of 3.39 US dollars, equivalent to about 1834 yuan/ton at domestic port pick - up prices, and the inversion range with domestic local prices has expanded to over 160 yuan/ton [5]. - **Demand**: Terminal hot metal production continued to decline, and the rigid demand for coking coal and coke remained under pressure. After two rounds of coke price cuts, there was still an expectation of further cuts, and high - price transactions at mines were still difficult. The clean coal inventory of 523 enterprises monitored by Steel Union was 2.5531 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 83,000 tons [5]. Part Two: Coke Price - As of December 11, the warehouse receipt price of quasi - first - grade coke at Rizhao Port was 1576 yuan/ton (- 21), the warehouse receipt price of port dry - quenched coke was 1815 yuan/ton, and the warehouse receipt price of quasi - first - grade dry - quenched coke in Shanxi was 1850 yuan/ton. The futures price of the main coke contract decreased significantly, with a week - on - week decline of 6.94%, and the J1 - 5 spread was - 153 yuan/ton (- 4) [41]. Fundamentals - **Supply**: The coking operation was at a high level, but in winter, coking was frequently affected by environmental protection. Currently, the production of some coke enterprises in areas such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan was restricted, and the supply tightened. On the other hand, a few coke enterprises had resumed production after previous maintenance, and production had recovered. Overall, coke supply continued to decline this period, with a limited decline. The capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 73.16%, a week - on - week decrease of 0.68 percentage points. The daily average output of all - sample independent coking plants was 639,800 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 5500 tons, and the daily average output of 247 steel mill coking plants was 466,100 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 100 tons [42]. - **Demand**: Affected by the off - season, demand continued to be weak. Blast furnace maintenance increased, and hot metal production continued to decline this period. The supply of finished products decreased, and steel mills' enthusiasm for raw material procurement was weak. Downstream steel mills continued to passively accumulate inventory. The daily average hot metal output this period was 2.292 million tons, a week - on - week decrease of 31,000 tons [42]. - **Inventory**: The coke inventory of 247 steel mills monitored by Steel Union was 635,280 tons, a week - on - week increase of 10,030 tons; the coke inventory of all - sample independent coking plants was 87,320 tons, a week - on - week increase of 10,880 tons, an increase of 14.2%. The coke inventory at ports was 181,200 tons, a week - on - week decrease of 100 tons [42]

Group 1: Report Information - Report Date: November 28, 2025 [1] - Report Type: Coal Daily Report - Researcher: Zhang Mengchao [5] - Qualification Number: F3068848 [5] - Investment Consulting Qualification Number: Z0017786 [5] - Contact Information: zhangmengchao_qh@chinastock.com.cn [5] Group 2: Market Review - On November 28, port market quotations continued to decline, with increased willingness of traders to sell, and the mainstream price range further moved down. The 5500 - kcal coal was quoted at 820 - 825 yuan/ton, the 5000 - kcal coal at 720 - 725 yuan/ton, and the 4500 - kcal coal at 620 - 625 yuan/ton in the port market. Different regions had different price ranges for various coal types [2]. Group 3: Important Information - From January to October this year, national railways累计 sent 3.378 billion tons of goods, a year - on - year increase of 3%, reaching a record high for the same period. The average daily loading was 186,000 cars, a year - on - year increase of 4% [3]. Group 4: Logical Analysis Supply - The impact of production restrictions still exists. The coal mine operating rates in major coal - producing areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia were generally stable. As of November 27, the coal mine operating rate in Ordos was 78%, and in Yulin it was 46%. The daily average coal output of Ordos and Yulin was over 4 million tons, and the domestic supply tended to be loose. However, in late November, the coal output in major producing areas was running at a low level, and the supply tightened [4]. Import - China's procurement demand weakened, while international coal prices continued to rise. Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources lowered the coal production target to 700 million tons, but the actual implementation still depends on China's demand [4]. Demand - This week, the demand was mediocre. China's procurement demand weakened, Japan and South Korea's procurement performance was average, and there was still no improvement in India's procurement demand. Power plant loads were maintained between 60 - 70%, and the operation was relatively stable. Downstream power plants mainly relied on long - term agreement coal to replenish inventory, with limited demand for market coal. Non - power industries purchased on demand and had a significantly lower acceptance of high - priced coal [4]. Inventory - Railway transportation returned to normal. The average daily transportation volume of the Datong - Qinhuangdao Line was 1.3 million tons, and the number of approved carriages by Huhehaote Railway Bureau was around 30 trains. The port inventory was generally stable. As of November 28, the inventory of Bohai Rim ports was 25.12 million tons, returning to the high level of the same period. Coastal power plants had low daily consumption but continuous inventory depletion, while inland power plants had a neutral inventory [4]. Price Forecast - Currently, the port FOB price is weakly回调. The pit - mouth safety supervision has been lifted, the coal mine operating rate has increased, production has risen, and the demand for chemical coal is okay, so the pit - mouth price has weakly declined. It is expected that coal prices will be weak in the short term [4]

Demand - General Demand: This week, demand was mediocre. Chinese procurement demand weakened, while that of Japan and South Korea was average, and India's procurement demand showed no improvement. Heating load growth did not meet expectations, and power plant daily consumption increased slowly, with power plant loads generally operating in the 60% - 70% range [4]. - Coal Procurement: Power plants mainly pulled long - term contract supplies, with extremely limited demand for market coal. They had a very low acceptance of high - priced coal and strong willingness to bargain, leading to a stalemate in market transactions [4]. Inventory - Port Inventory: Railway transportation returned to normal. The average daily transport volume of the Datong - Qinhuangdao line was 1.3 million tons, and the number of approved trains by Hohhot Railway Bureau was around 30.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core View of the Report - The coal price is expected to be weak in the short term. As of late November, the coal production in major producing areas is running at a low level, the supply is tightening, the power plant inventory is continuously decreasing, the import profit is available, the port inventory fluctuates within a range, the power plant daily consumption hovers at a low level, and the coal consumption is average, but the coastal power plant inventory is lower than the same period and continues to make rigid - demand purchases, leading to a continuous increase in the port FOB price. The increase in pit - mouth price has narrowed [4]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Market Review - On November 24, the port market showed a continuous game between buyers and sellers, and the overall quotation remained stable. The 5500 - kcal coal was quoted at 840 - 850 yuan/ton, the 5000 - kcal coal at 740 - 750 yuan/ton, and the 4500 - kcal coal at 640 - 650 yuan/ton. In Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and other regions, the prices of different - calorie non - power enterprise coal were also within certain ranges. The mainstream quotation of 5500 - kcal thermal coal at Jiangnei Port was 890 - 900 yuan/ton, and the 5000 - kcal coal was quoted at 790 - 800 yuan/ton [2]. Important News - From January to October this year, the national railways cumulatively sent 3.378 billion tons of goods, a year - on - year increase of 3%, setting a record high for the same period; the average daily loading was 186,000 cars, a year - on - year increase of 4% [3]. Logic Analysis - **Supply**: The impact of production restrictions still exists. The coal mine start - up rates in major coal - producing areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia are generally stable. As of November 23, the coal mine start - up rate in Ordos was 78%, and that in Yulin was 46%. The daily average coal output of Ordos and Yulin was over 4 million tons, and the domestic supply tended to be loose. Entering late November, the coal output in major producing areas was running at a low level, the coal start - up rates in Ordos and Yulin were stable, and the daily average output was around 3.8 million tons, with supply tightening [4]. - **Import**: China's demand has weakened, but the international coal price has still risen. The precipitation in Indonesia still affects the tight supply of goods, the number of overseas cargoes is small, and the miners have a strong willingness to hold up prices [4]. - **Demand**: This week, the demand performance was average. China's procurement demand weakened, Japan and South Korea's procurement performance was average, and India's procurement demand still did not improve. With the deepening of winter, the demand for heating coal has increased significantly, but the growth momentum of coal - consumption demand in the industrial industry is insufficient due to the overall economic situation. Power plants are mainly cautious in procurement, mainly locking in part of the coal source through long - term contracts and flexibly adjusting the market coal according to market dynamics [4]. - **Inventory**: Railway transportation has returned to normal. The daily average transportation volume of the Datong - Qinhuangdao Line is 1.3 million tons, and the number of approved wagons by the Hohhot Railway Bureau is around 30 trains. The port inventory is generally stable. As of November 21, the inventory of Bohai - Rim ports was 24.6 million tons, at a neutral level over the years. The daily consumption of coastal power plants is low, but the inventory is continuously decreasing, and the inventory of inland power plants is neutral [4].

In different regions, non - electric enterprise coal prices also had corresponding ranges [2]. Group 2: Important Information - On November 14, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that the power production growth of above - scale industries in China accelerated. In October, the power generation of above - scale industries was 800.2 billion kWh, a year - on - year increase of 7.9%, 6.4 percentage points faster than in September; the daily average power generation was 25.81 billion kWh. From January to October, the power generation of above - scale industries was 8062.5 billion kWh, a year - on - year increase of 2.3% [3]. Group 3: Logic Analysis - Supply: The impact of production restrictions still exists. The coal mine operating rates in the main coal - producing areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Inner Mongolia were generally stable. As of November 18, the coal mine operating rate in Ordos was 78%, and in Yulin was 46%. The daily average coal output of Ordos and Yulin was over 3.9 million tons, and the domestic supply tightened overall. Import: China's demand weakened, but international coal prices still rose. Demand: This week, the demand was average. China's procurement demand weakened, Japan and South Korea's procurement was average, and India's procurement demand still did not improve. Supply: The rainfall in Indonesia still affected the tight supply of goods, the number of overseas cargoes was small, and miners were more willing to hold prices. Most power plants' operating loads were in the range of 60% - 70%, and the overall inventory of power plants was at a medium - high level. In market procurement, most power plants preferred to fulfill long - term contracts, and some power plants, expecting the subsequent market coal price to rise, chose to conduct a small amount of tender procurement for market coal. Inventory: Railway transportation returned to normal. The daily average transportation volume of the Datong - Qinhuangdao Line was 1.3 million tons, and the number of approved trains by the Hohhot Railway Bureau was around 30. The port inflow was stable, and the outflow remained high. As of November 19, the inventory of Bohai Rim ports was 24.4 million tons, at a neutral level over the years. The daily consumption of coastal power plants was low, but the inventory continued to decline, while the inventory of inland power plants was neutral. Overall, in mid - November, the coal production in the main producing areas was low. The coal operating rates in Ordos and Yulin were stable, with a daily average output of around 3.8 million tons, and the supply tightened. The power plant inventory continued to decline, the import profit was realized, and coastal power plants increased their procurement efforts. The port inflow and outflow were at low levels, and the port inventory fluctuated within a range. As the high - temperature weather across the country subsided, the daily consumption of power plants hovered at a low level, and the coal consumption was average. However, the inventory of coastal power plants was lower than the same period, and they continued to make rigid - demand purchases. The port FOB price rose continuously. With strengthened safety supervision at the mine mouth, the coal mine operating rate was low, and the production was average. The demand for chemical coal was acceptable, and the increase in the mine - mouth price narrowed. It is expected that the coal price will slow down in the short term [4].
