Concorde Capital: Ukranian coke output shows negative growth due to low demand from the Ukrainian steel mills and lower coke exports caused by high transportation tariffs. However, a recent decrease in the transportation rate for coke exports by 30% will likely improve the situation. Another positive factor is the agreement reached between Ukraine?s association of coke producers, Ukrkoks, and the ?Coal of Ukraine Holding,? over an 18% reduction in coaking coal prices.
