Thermal coal price stability. Since late July, the National Day of electricity continues to rise, mainly driven by high temperatures soaring residential electricity consumption, while electricity generation accounted for about 15% of the water, "not to force" is not one of the reasons for optimism. Although more recent precipitation, but by the uneven distribution of rainfall impact, Hunan, Guangxi, runoff is still a serious Pianku. In the summer peaks has already entered a critical phase of the case, although the overall market supply and demand remains stable, but the situation is not optimistic. The coal price regulation by the national key high and the market price of coal and other factors, not much room to adjust the price of coal. Inner Mongolia Erdos number of recent pre-cut coal mine near future to resume production, coupled with the highest point up before, combined with the current poor transport, accumulation of stocks of coal prices, high prices began to decline in varying degrees, especially in low-calorie coal market, prices fall more common, high card coal slightly firm, but there are many coal mines dropped by 30 yuan / ton.
Price of coking coal market as a whole remained stable. Has entered in August, the downstream steel market is still no significant improvement in the spot transaction is still more general, steel mills and coking plant funds are tight national monetary policy remained tight, while the U.S. debt crisis is likely to stimulate the domestic economy of the downstream market pick up the resistance continues to increase. In this case, hard coking coal market conditions have improved remarkably, but still high because crude steel production and other factors combined with the scarcity of coking coal to support the price of coal is not much room down there, so the possibility of holding stability coal prices continue to vulnerable relatively large.
Anthracite market running smoothly. As the demand for off-season to enter the downstream market, so the smoke-free lump sales tepid, to maintain previous levels of basic, although the Shanxi, Henan and other places have gradually raised the lump coal prices coal prices, but demand did not change significantly, the downstream market, signs of the game Obviously, coal will continue the recent high is expected to hold steady.
PCI coal market price temporarily stable. The current low profitability of the downstream steel mills, more cautious on the procurement of raw materials, restricted by the downturn in the downstream market, injection coal to take the goods from the previous month decline, particularly in the South to accept the goods the customer will decline significantly, the market began to pressure injection coal, the price being more stable.
