Message surface: Recently, Shanxi Jiaoxie Association proposed that the major coking enterprises in the province raise the price of coke by RMB 30-50/ton in August. In addition, Pingmei Shenma Group has raised the price of coke in August at RMB 50/ton, which is an increase of 4%. This is the first time since the beginning of February this year, after the domestic coke prices continued to plummet for five consecutive months, the market has shown signs of a rebound.

Operational recommendations: Driven by the steel industry, in August it ushered in the opportunity of coke to stop falling and stabilize, breaking the unilateral fall pattern of the coke market, and gradually increasing the focus of futures prices. However, under the circumstances that the downstream demand of the steel market has not been significantly liberalized and the production capacity is still surplus, The trend of coke in the later period will still be repeated. The main fund will not diminish its willingness to go short on rallies, and pressure has not yet formed a rising joint force. It will continue to be suppressed in the near future. Pressure level 1500,1520, support position 1440.
