MYSTEEL: Mid-East crisis seen having little impact on China's coke exports

Escalating tensions in the Middle East are expected to have a limited impact on China's coke exports, given the small volume the country's ships to the region compared with total shipments globally, according to Mysteel's latest market survey.

As the world's largest exporter of coke, China shipped 7.94 million tonnes of the raw material for all uses to worldwide destinations last year, according to data from China's General Administration of Customs.
