China: Met coke players eye 5th round of price hike
Chinese mills in Tangshan are anticipated to accept the fifth round of price hikes, effective from 8 Oct'24. Over the past three weeks, metallurgical coke prices have risen in key production regions. Coke prices in Hebei's Tangshan stood at RMB 1,760/t ($249/t), up by RMB 100/t w-o-w. The continuous rise in coal prices and production cuts at cokeries boosted the operating rates of steel mills.
