Thermal coal price stability. Into August, the Southern Power Grid electricity demand growth, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, respectively, year on year growth of 8.1%, 16.5%, 20.5%, 22.8%. This is mainly hot and dry these areas the impact of hydropower declined Drought increased thermal load. The thermal coal market in these areas is relatively tight, tight supply and demand of coal in Guizhou Province, the province basically no coal province, local coal prices coal coal were almost all insurance, but still can not meet demand, market tension is evident. South southeast coast weaker than the market, due to hot weather has not continued, plant inventory maintained at above the safety line, so the market run more smoothly. Inland areas are also ideal weather conditions, so the plant inventory is relatively stable, not to increase purchase intention, price parity is stable. Late hot weather will often intrusive over the electricity load is difficult to significant decline in purchasing power can not therefore be taken lightly, with September the Datong-Qinhuangdao line about maintenance, coastal coal market bottomed more likely. 
  Price of coking coal market as a whole remained stable. Recently, Shanxi, Hebei coke with some steel companies reached a preliminary agreement on the price of coke, coke prices will rise 20-30 yuan / ton, part of the coking plant coke prices have increased. This downstream market driven prices, coking coal market confidence increased significantly, many traders in advance to increase the store of purchase of coking coal in Shanxi. Coal prices, the current downstream market is uncertain, so do not rush shots, wait and see attitude than the market strong. 
  Anthracite market running smoothly. Although not a downstream chemical market during peak demand, but the lump of coal to go smoke-free goods prices remained relatively stable, in which case, price adjustment will take the initiative of coal prices is not strong, the market prices continue steady. However, immediately downstream enterprises will gradually start to resume production, lump coal demand will begin to rise, coupled with civil procurement is about to begin, Shanxi, Henan Province lump coal price hike in September are the wind. 
  PCI coal market price temporarily stable. As a result of the downstream market began to rebound, injection coal resources, demand began to rebound, but the demand and supply situation remains relatively stable, except for some areas of transport and local production decreased by other factors, short-term upward price, the market environment are still the main stable.
