At the Production Regions:
In Yulin, demand remains strong while supply is relatively tight. The notable increase in auction prices from large mines has further boosted market sentiment, leading to a continued broad-based price rise.
In Ordos, prices edged up slightly as railway stations and surrounding users remained active in coal hauling. However, mine operating rates are still low, while pithead inventories continue to decline steadily, supporting a moderate upward trend in mine prices.
In northern Shanxi, prices remained mostly stable amid active market transactions. Many mine auctions closed with small premiums. However, due to limited price gains at the ports, most mines are maintaining stable pricing strategies for now.
At the Ports:
End-users are showing weak interest in spot procurement, and the few inquiries received generally fall short of seller expectations. Nevertheless, rising production-area prices have driven up the cost of delivering spot cargoes to the ports. With port inventories continuing to decline, sellers are mostly holding firm on prices while adopting a wait-and-see approach.
For Imported Coal:
Weather conditions in Indonesia are currently stable, allowing for a steady increase in supply. At the same time, import coal retains a clear price advantage, prompting domestic power plants to continue issuing tenders. Overseas suppliers remain optimistic about future demand and are keeping their offers firm, while traders' bid prices have also edged up slightly compared to last week.
