China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 130.79 points Monday, up 0.96 percent week on week.
The index, released by China Taiyuan Coal Transaction Center (CTCTC) based in Shanxi, a coal-rich province, reflects the coal price levels and changes in the main production areas of China. It is published every Monday.
Analysts said that the coal consumption of thermal power plants in coastal areas has increased recently, yet the release of coal production is limited due to safety inspections in some production areas, and traders slightly increased coal prices.
With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
