Minor declines were noted in corn starch, alumina, and soybean meal [1] Group 2: Future Outlook - According to Zijin Tianfeng Futures research, the overall supply and demand for coking coal is weaker compared to pre-holiday levels, but upstream inventory is low. The strength in thermal coal spot prices is boosting market sentiment, suggesting limited downside for coking coal prices. Future attention will be on potential policy changes and coal mine resumption [1] - Industrial Futures research indicates that the recent full-load trial of Mongolian coal imports may weaken expectations for supply limits under "industrial regulation," potentially creating price pressure. Additionally, increasing anti-dumping pressures from the EU on steel may weaken future demand for coal and coke, leading to a deterioration in short-term market sentiment. Overall, the short-term trend for coking coal and coke is expected to be weak and volatile [1]
