The price of coke began to rise in the first round after five rounds of rise and fall. On August 11, as the mainstream steel mills in North and East China accepted an increase in the purchase price of coke from 200 yuan / ton to 240 yuan / ton, the first round of coke increase was fully implemented. With the recovery of the steel market, the production capacity of coke enterprises has increased in the near future. According to Mysteel, as of Aug. 4, the capacity utilization rate of 230 independent coking enterprises was 65.35%, an increase of 0.73% over the previous period. Although coke prices have started the first round of increases, industry insiders believe that "there is little possibility of continuous increases in the later stage."
