    As the input and output of China's largest coal transshipment port - Qinhuangdao Port, in the end of last year the coal market has experienced the acute tension and a rapid rise in coal prices turbulent phase, the coal market in January of this year, has entered the price of stand-off. In the end of January the price of coal prices due to high run-time support weak, Qinhuangdao coal prices as a whole began to decline in February since the rapid decline in coal prices of adjustment channel, the recent decline in coal prices two weeks magnitude of the speed is less others.

　　Third, the reasons for Qinhuangdao coal prices drop sharply
　　Hot in the coal market of the stock market, why would occur in a relatively short period of time a sharp decline in coal prices? The main reason there are four areas. First, the state has adopted vigorous measures of effective coal production increased substantially. As the coal supply, the National Development and Reform Commission, Energy Bureau and other relevant departments have adopted effective measures, the effective capacity of coal compared with a substantial increase in coal supply ability, effectively easing the situation of shortage of coal; second Qinhuangdao coal throughput rate of increase in the market to ease tight supply situation. Recent South Power business inventories increased, rush to transport coal power plant led to a significant rebound in stocks, most direct supply stored coal power plant can be picked up the number of days from 8 days to 10 days or so, coal inadequate resources in short supply somewhat eased the tight supply situation in ; third coal rises too much, the price will have to be adjusted; four coal market supply situation has changed, the market price of coal. Recently, due to the increase in coal production, railways, ports and other measures for the implementation of the rush to transport coal, coupled with a decrease of coal consumption, the domestic coal market, a change in the supply of coal in short supply situation has eased the tight supply of coal market the situation has relaxed, the coal market supply and demand of coal prices, so that has caused market supply due to the loose coal prices runs the driving force behind high-priced enough, coal trading prices decline inevitable.
