The article reports that the auction price for Mongolian company ER's coking coal reached 880 yuan/ton, an increase of 10 yuan/ton compared to the previous auction, with all 12,800 tons fully sold. This indicates strong market demand and tight supply, directly benefiting spot prices and potentially driving up the benchmark price in the spot market. Combined with coking coal futures data, the main contracts on the Dalian Commodity Exchange, such as 2605 (closing price on January 30, 2026: 1,155.5 yuan/ton, up 35 yuan) and 2609 (closing price: 1,232.5 yuan/ton, up 32.5 yuan), show a recent upward trend, with changes in open interest reflecting bullish market sentiment.
