On March 16, maritime coking coal port spot prices remained stable with a slight uptick, as pig iron production recovered slowly and the market was primarily driven by just-in-time purchasing. Although coking coal prices at production origins rose somewhat, the increases were limited. Influenced by the futures market, port coking coal prices remained firm, with attention needed on subsequent changes in end-user demand.
