China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 157.78 points Monday, up 0.37 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 macro-economy is stable and positive, and the shipment of coal mines runs well amid rising demand, pushing coal prices to rise slightly in some producing areas.
With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
