China: Steel mills decline price retreat request owing to high coking coal prices

Shanxi Antai Group, a major met coke producer in North China, has declined a proposal to reduce met coke prices. The company issued a notice to coke buyers explaining that it is operating at a loss due to astronomical coking coal prices and low inventory. Coking coal availability has been tight in China amid low output due to stringent safety and environmental regulations, resulting in rising prices.
