Coal consumption season to spend more than half of the upcoming off-season, since the fourth quarter of 2011, the transit coal prices have certainly dropped, but I believe that to enter the off-season, the price of coal in particular coal transit is still facing some pressure. Qinhuangdao Port thermal coal Shanxi excellent mix price dropped to 785 yuan / ton, has fallen since mid-November 2011, a new high record the current round of price 860 yuan / ton, 75 yuan / ton, a decrease of 8.72%. This is also the price of Shanxi excellent mix for the first time since early May 2011 fell to below 800 yuan. Smooth operation of the coking coal market, the market turnover is still not optimistic. Shaoguan Iron and Steel cut coking coal price, 1/3 coking coal S85Y13 down 30 yuan / ton. Steel coking coal stocks last week showed a downward trend, expected to start next week, the steel mills of the procurement actions launched will lead the coking coal traded turns for the better. Imported coal market vulnerable consolidation on the 3rd, the steel mills of metallurgical coal inventory is basically maintained in the normal low level, the steel market in the short term is uncertain, steel mills, coking plant on the procurement of raw materials are not enthusiastic. Last week, stocks of the Bohai Sea Port coal stocks this week compared to an increase of 932,000 tons, an increase of 5.90%. The largest increase since last August. The Caofeidian Kong and Jingtang Port increased considerably, and are about 10%. Substantial heating, leading to the northern port ice will affect the thermal coal shipping.
