¡¡¡¡In 2008, China coke market soared first and then fell into chilled season. For detail, affected by steelmakers¡¯ demand, snow havoc and Beijing Olympics, coke supply-and-demand conflict of H1 2008 worsened, and then market price peaked out.

¡¡¡¡However, the situation totally changed in the second half. On the expansion of global financial crises, steel mills cut coke demand both at home and abroad; consequently, coke price crest cooled down to the level of early year.

¡¡¡¡In 2008, Chinese government raised coke export tariff for twice, and then coke export cost increased sharply. As a result, the coke exports of 2008 declined for the first time since 2005. In 2009, pressurized by high production cost, capacity oversupplies and falling demand, China coke price is anticipated to volatilize slightly.
