CHINESE coking coal and coke futures extended gains on Monday after capacity cuts in the country hit production, with a severe supply shortage expected to continue in the coming months.

As part of its supply-side reform, China has vowed to slash overcapacity in the coal sector that has dragged miners into severe losses over the last few years.
