China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 158.26 points Monday, up 0.30 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 due to intensified work-place safety checks across the country, some coal mines in the main production areas have stopped production, and the overall supply of thermal coal in the market is tight.
With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
