Chinese coking coal futures rose for the first time in six trading sessions on Wednesday, surging more than 14% on big backwardation amid tight supplies, while coke prices also jumped.
"Steel production costs are very high now. Mills and coking plants are gaming how much room is there left for further adjustment between spot and futures prices," said Wang Yingwu, analyst with Huatai Futures in Beijing, adding that profits at coking plants are also thin now.
Current coke prices are around 1,100 yuan per tonne higher than the January futures contract, while spot coking coal prices are also several hundreds yuan higher, according to a Huatai Futures note. The most actively traded coking coal futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange soared as much as 14.1% to 2,507 yuan per tonne, the biggest percentage change since Nov.22, 2016. They ended up 12.7% at 2,477 yuan a tonne.
