Coke market sentiment warmed up recently thanks to policy stimulus. Both coke and coking coal futures prices rallied strongly, and this also improved expectation for spot market. Cokemakers maintained stable production amid reasonable profits. But producers in many cities in N China restrained production due to air pollution. Auction results of coking coal improved, which lent more supports to coke prices. Most steel mills continued essential coke purchases as more mills planned facility overhauls due to production cuts amid losses and molten iron production will also drop. Therefore they still have the plan for the third around of coke price cut.
