subject: Stable And Increased Domestic Coke Prices [print this page] Coking coal prices and improved market demand, the domestic coke market prices rose to some extent there. Ended ended Dec. 8, the current secondary metallurgical coke price in Shanghai in 1750 yuan / ton in Jiangsu and secondary metallurgical coke price 1800 yuan / ton, Shandong secondary metallurgical coke price 1700 yuan / ton, the second in Shanxi Province class metallurgical coke price 1650 yuan / ton Hebei two metallurgical coke price 1750 yuan / ton, Yunnan secondary metallurgical coke price 1450 yuan / ton, has risen 50-100 yuan / ton.
Together, affect the price of coke The major factors include the following:
1, significantly higher coking coal prices, production costs
Winter has always been the traditional peak season for coal coal demand, the current small coal mines in Shanxi Province before the end of integration and consolidation of the northern strain on the resources available in the market situation has not improved significantly. And because rain and snow, coupled with increasingly strained capacity by the end of the recent northern steel mills and coking coke to the volume of business decreased. Currently, coking coal in Shanxi Province 9 market prices have risen to 1,300 yuan / ton, early in November rose 50 per tonne. Hebei Hebei raised three times the energy mining coking coal ex-factory price in November. From 21 November onwards, its ex-factory prices of long-term users coking coal up 60 to 1,100 yuan / ton (excluding tax), long-term users of non-raised 170 yuan / ton, auto transport customer implementation of 1,320 yuan / ton (including tax price of 1544 yuan / ton), train transportation customers implement 1300 yuan / ton (tax included price of 1521 yuan / ton). Affected by this, the present Hebei 9 coking coal market price rose to 1520 yuan / ton, early in November rose 260 yuan / ton.
2, market demand, tight supply of coke resources
Continued high domestic steel production, coke demand is more robust, according to China Steel Association statistics, in November 2009 member companies in mid-Steel Association (73) crude steel production was 12,469,600 tons, average daily production was 1.247 million tons / day; forecast In mid-November produced 15.9952 million tons nationwide, average daily production of 1,599,500 tons / day. As the iron and steel production to maintain a high level of demand for good coke, Shanxi, Hebei and other places of coking enterprises have said that the current inventory is not high steel coke, coke procurement efforts have increased in recent shipments of coke in good condition. Shandong, Henan, coking also reflects the market demand, coking enterprises are currently at full capacity, but the little plant inventory, shipping and smooth.
Steel mills have increased their purchases, but also constantly raise the purchase price of coke. December 7, Hengyang Steel Tube will be the purchase price of coke up 80 yuan / ton, adjusted from the standard one metallurgical coke in Shanxi purchase price of the implementation of 1840 yuan / ton. Recent metallurgical coke Anyang Yongxing Steel to raise the purchase price of 50 yuan / ton, the adjusted quasi-one focus (A
