Group 1: Report Summary - This week, coking coal and coke showed relative resilience in the black steel industry chain, maintaining a sideways oscillation. The macro - level disturbances eased, and the market gradually returned to trading based on its own fundamentals. The strong performance of coking coal was mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which released price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricted the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage. As hot metal production gradually declined, coke consumption decreased, but production also dropped, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [6]. - As of November 4, the capital availability rate of sample construction sites was 59.82%, a week - on - week increase of 0.12 percentage points. The capital availability rate of non - housing construction projects was 61.22%, a week - on - week increase of 0.07 percentage points, and that of housing construction projects was 53.19%, a week - on - week increase of 0.38 percentage points. Since November 10, 2025, China has suspended the 15% additional tariff on imported coking coal from the United States, and the import tariff has dropped to 13%. Thailand has launched an anti - circumvention investigation into hot - rolled steel plates from China [7]. - Domestic coking coal supply has slightly shrunk. Upstream coking coal inventory has slightly increased, but the pressure is not significant. Independent coke enterprises have slightly replenished coking coal, while steel mills have maintained just - in - time procurement. Coke production has slightly decreased. Hot metal production has declined, leading to lower coke consumption. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss situation [7]. Group 2: Bull - Bear Focus - Bullish factors include low inventory pressure of coking coal, strong performance of thermal coal prices, and the expectation of industry winter storage. Bearish factors are the weakening profitability of steel mills, low willingness to replenish raw material inventory, and the decline in hot metal production due to environmental protection factors [10]. Group 3: Data Analysis - As of the week of November 7, the operating rate of 523 sample mines was 83.76%, a month - on - month decrease of 1.02%, and the daily average output was 73.83 tons, a decrease of 2.01 tons. The operating rate of 314 sample coal washing plants was 37.61%, a month - on - month increase of 1.15%, and the daily average output was 27.53 tons, an increase of 1.01 tons. As of the week of November 1, the customs clearance volume of Mongolian coal at the Ganqimaodu Port rebounded but was slightly lower than the same period last year. Overall, the supply of coking coal has limited room for increase [13]. - As of the week of November 7, the clean coal inventory of 523 sample mines was 165.59 tons, an increase of 1.06 tons; the clean coal inventory of 314 sample coal washing plants was 294.97 tons, an increase of 10.55 tons; and the port coking coal inventory was 304.27 tons, an increase of 14.12 tons. The downstream replenishment rhythm of coking coal has slowed down, and the inventory depletion rate has decreased, resulting in a slight increase in weekly inventory, but the mine inventory pressure has been significantly reduced [15]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 1070.02 tons, an increase of 17.54 tons. The available inventory days were 12.65 days, an increase of 0.4 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory of independent coke enterprises was 58.3 tons, a decrease of 1.57 tons. This week, the production and sales of independent coke enterprises were relatively balanced, inventory decreased, and the willingness to replenish coking coal remained, but the replenishment amplitude was narrower than before [18]. - As of November 7, the coking coal inventory of 247 steel enterprises was 787.3 tons, a decrease of 9.02 tons. The available inventory days were 12.84 days, a decrease of 0.12 days compared with the previous period. The coke inventory was 626.64 tons, a decrease of 2.41 tons compared with the previous period, and the available days were 11.07 days, a decrease of 0.5 days. Recently, the profitability of steel mills has continuously declined, and the willingness to replenish raw materials is weak, mainly for just - in - time procurement [22]. - As of November 7, the capacity utilization rate of all - sample independent coke enterprises was 72.31%, a decrease of 1.13% compared with the previous period, and the daily average output of metallurgical coke was 63.59 tons, a decrease of 1 ton compared with the previous period. The capacity utilization rate of 247 steel enterprises was 84.99%, a decrease of 0.22% compared with the previous period, and the daily average coke output was 46.09 tons, a decrease of 0.12 tons compared with the previous period. As downstream consumption weakened, coke production also decreased, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern [24]. - As of the week of November 7, China's coke consumption was 105.4 tons, a decrease of 0.96 tons. From the data of 247 steel enterprises, the daily average hot metal output was 234.22 tons, a decrease of 2.14 tons. Recently, hot metal production has gradually declined, and coke consumption has also decreased, but it is still in a relatively high range [26]. - As of November 7, the average profit per ton of coke for independent coke enterprises was a loss of 22 yuan/ton. The third round of price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss. However, high raw material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability. As of November 7, the profitability of 247 steel enterprises was 39.83%, a further decrease of 5.19% compared with the previous period. The decline in steel mill profitability will intensify the game between steel and coke enterprises, and steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, delaying the implementation of the next price hike or reducing the possibility of implementation, thus limiting the profit space of coke enterprises [28]. - The spot and futures prices of coking coal and coke maintained a slightly bullish oscillating trend [30]. Group 4: Market Outlook - The strong performance of coking coal is mainly driven by the rising price of thermal coal, reduced inventory pressure on mining enterprises, limited supply increase, and the expectation of winter storage, which releases price elasticity. However, the decline in steel mill profitability and hot metal production restricts the upward space of coking coal prices. The short - term futures market is expected to maintain a slightly bullish oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the rhythm and intensity of downstream winter storage [33]. - As hot metal production gradually declines, coke consumption decreases, but production also drops, resulting in a relatively balanced supply - demand pattern. The third round of coke price hikes has been implemented, slightly improving the loss of coke enterprises, but they are still in the loss range, and the fourth round of price hikes has been initiated. High furnace material prices have continuously reduced steel mill profitability, intensifying the game between steel and coke enterprises. Steel mills will resist price hikes more strongly, limiting the profit space of coke enterprises. The subsequent price hike space of coke depends on the upward range of coking coal, and the futures market fluctuates with coking coal [36].
