Production Areas:
In the Yulin region, trading activity among major state-owned mines remained active, with auction prices continuing to rise. Sales performance at privately owned mines was relatively stable, but due to steadily declining inventories, there was a clear tendency to follow the upward price trend.
In the Ordos region, rail station and nearby end-user hauling demand remained strong. Combined with the continued rise in port prices and external purchase costs, market sentiment further strengthened, and mine prices saw steady increases.
In northern Shanxi, prices continued to rise, supported by improved coal shipments compared to the previous week, allowing prices to remain firm.
Ports:
The seasonal peak has provided strong support. The number of vessels anchored at Bohai Rim ports remained high. Coupled with rising transportation costs and upward adjustments in large enterprises’ sales prices, market sentiment remained optimistic, with transaction prices continuing to trend upward.
Imported Coal:
This week, power plants continued to issue new tenders. However, due to firm offers from overseas suppliers and persistently rising ocean freight rates, the landed cost of imported coal increased. As a result, market participants adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and actual transactions remained limited.
