Production Areas:
In Yulin, prices rose slightly by 5–10 RMB/ton as improved weather and stronger market expectations boosted hauling activity. Most mines reported faster sales.
In Ordos, while terminal demand remained stable, procurement activity from traders continued to rise. Combined with rising external purchase costs, this supported a firmer price stance, with mine prices trending slightly upward.
In northern Shanxi, supply remained steady while demand increased marginally. Continued price gains at ports lifted market sentiment, keeping mine prices firm to strong.
Ports:
Port inflows remained low, and structural supply tightness persisted. Amid the peak summer demand season, daily coal consumption at power plants stayed high, and coastal terminal inventories declined slightly. These factors continued to tilt the market in favor of sellers, driving further price increases.
Imported Coal:
Recent downstream purchases focused on restocking based on rigid demand. With a clear price advantage, low-calorific imported coal saw strong inquiry levels from end-users. Overseas suppliers remained generally firm on pricing, anticipating stronger demand ahead. However, end-user price acceptance was limited, suggesting a near-term steady market.
