Bureau of Statistics: the price of national second grade coke kept stable

According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of statistics on October 14, in the first ten days of October, the price of national coke (secondary coke) was 1735.8 CNY/ton, the same as the previous period. At present, the coke market is generally stable, but there is a regional short-term supply-demand mismatch in the north and south. In Jiangsu, Shandong and other regions, the prices of individual coke enterprises increased by 50-100 CNY/ton. On the one hand, the reasons for the price increase lie in the implementation of production restriction by some local coke enterprises during the national day, the influence of regional coke supply and the limitation of inland river transportation. On the other hand, some steel plants in the south of China did not adjust the coke purchase plan in time due to the weak price stability of coke before the festival, which led to the coke depot in some steel plants. The deposit fell back to different degrees. The coke price of coke enterprises in the northern region has remained stable, the temporary heavy pollution weather warning has been issued in Changzhi, Taiyuan and other regions of Shanxi Province, which has limited impact on the production of coke enterprises, and the overall coke supply has remained stable.

The implementation of production restriction of steel plants in the downstream Tangshan region in October remains to be observed, the coke inventory of Fenwei sample steel plant has declined slightly, the procurement is more active, and some coke enterprises have on-site inventory. Decline. However, the downstream steel plants did not accept it, and the resistance of coke price rise was large. On the other hand, the price of steel billets has fallen recently. The steel market has weakened slightly. The demand side is not good for the coke price. Most coke and steel enterprises have a stable view of the coke market. On the whole, the supply and demand of coke market is generally balanced, and the profit of steel coke is kept in a reasonable range. In the case of weak coking coal price and fluctuating steel price, the price of Coke will remain stable in the short term. As of October 12, 1700 CNY/ton of quasi primary metallurgical coke in Luliang, Shanxi Province, was the same period last week, the same period last month; 1910 CNY/ton of quasi primary metallurgical coke in Tangshan, Hebei Province, the same period last week, the same period last month; 1870 CNY/ton of quasi primary metallurgical coke in Rizhao, Shandong Province, the same period last week, the same period last month, up 20 CNY/ton.
