The coke supply is likely to be stable in October. The demand for coke from mills increased amid high profits and the resumption of production for some blast furnaces. The overall coke prices are expected to stabilise. Mills in Hebei are likely to be subject to production restrictions and some mills even face suspension of production amid the Winter Olympics and the environmental protection policies. Therefore, the demand for coke is expected to fall sharply. The coke prices are expected to be weak in the long term due to the decline in coking coal prices.
