During the week ending February 3, metallurgical coke prices have trended sideways in most regions of China, except for a slight decrease in the northeastern region, while activity has seen a gradual revival on a whole. Meanwhile, the main coke futures contract price at Dalian Commodity Exchange has risen by $2/mt week on week, with the price closing at RMB 2,084/mt ($330/mt).

As of February 3, the average spot price of second grade coke in China stands at $303/mt, unchanged from the pre-holiday level. Local coke prices in China can be viewed in the SteelOrbis price reports section.

Although coke prices in the northeast of China are down slightly, transportation problems in Shanxi Province have provided some support for prices. It is thought that coke prices in China will generally remain stable in the coming seven days.
