[Some steel mills accepted four rounds of coke increases, with Luliang low-sulfur main coking coal rising to as high as 2,800] On September 1, the domestic coking coal market continued to operate on a strong trend. On the supply side, one new coal mine resumed production in Qinyuan County, Changzhi City today, and another coal mine is expected to resume production tomorrow. Although some coal mines in the main producing areas are advancing the resumption of production in an orderly manner, the actual incremental release is limited, and the regional circulation supply is generally tight, forming strong support for coking coal prices. Today, the prices of mainstream large mines in many places have generally increased. Among them, the mainstream large mines in Shanxi have increased by 170-350 yuan/ton, the mainstream large mines in Pingdingshan have increased by 280-350 yuan/ton, the mainstream large mines in Shandong have increased by 120-160 yuan/ton, and the mainstream large mines in Hebei have increased by 100-220 yuan/ton. The online bidding market also experienced strong growth. The average transaction price of Linfen Anze low-sulfur main coking coal was 2,547 yuan/ton, an increase of 142 yuan/ton; the average transaction price of Luliang Zhongyang low-sulfur main coking coal was 2,798 yuan/ton. The average transaction price of Xiaoyi high-sulfur main coking coal rose by 236 yuan/ton to 2,348 yuan/ton, an increase of 206 yuan/ton; the transaction price of Jinzhong Lingshi high-sulfur main coking clean coal increased by 136 yuan/ton to 2,464 yuan/ton. On the demand side, due to the continued rise in coking coal prices, the loss situation of coking companies has not been substantially repaired. Today, coke started its fourth round of price increases of 100-110 yuan/ton, which will be implemented from the 3rd, and some steel mills have already accepted the increase. At present, the raw material inventory of Jiaoshan Iron and Steel Enterprises is at a low level, and the destocking performance is significant, and there is still a certain demand for replenishment. Taken together, the core contradiction of tight supply of coking coal in the short term has not been alleviated, and the market is prone to rise but difficult to fall, and is expected to remain volatile and strong in the future.
