In the first half of this year, the price of coal trade in the Bohai port market continued to show three parabolic fluctuations. The price of coal in the port market rose first and then fell, and then rose again.

In the coal transportation of the Bohai port, the main coal transfer is coal and the special site of the customer. The market coal trading volume is not much, only about 20% of the coal water in the Bohai port ring, and the coal price of the dominant power plant coal is relatively low and the price fluctuates little.

As the cold weather continued, as the cold weather continued, the electricity load increased, the daily consumption of the power plant remained high, the demand for coal remained strong, and the market price of coal was rising. The spot transaction price rose from the beginning of the year to February 4th, up to 65 yuan per ton.

With the advent of the traditional coal use season, the arrival of the Spring Festival and the drop of electric load, the daily consumption of many power plants has dropped to about half of the normal condition and even about 1/3, the demand of the coal market is weakened and the enthusiasm of the pull and transportation is weakened. At this time, the regulation policy of coal price was introduced, and the price limit of 5500 big cards in the market is below 750 yuan per ton. The above two factors impel the rapid and rapid decline of the market price of coal. From February 4th, the price of coal began to fall and fell to April 16th, and the price of coal in the market dropped by 205 yuan / ton in two more months.

Since the middle of April, the policy of importing coal, extending the time of customs clearance and so on, has greatly promoted the coal demand in domestic trade, and the coal market in China is getting better. In addition, industrial electricity boosted, electricity consumption increased, coal demand increased in the south, and the price of coal in the port market stabilized and rose. The price of coal in port market has risen from mid April to May 23rd.

As the price of power coal is rising too fast, the NDRC leads the market to return and stable in a reasonable range through a series of measures, such as increasing production, increasing capacity and increasing capacity. It is clear that the price of coal in the port of Bohai should be controlled within the green area by June 10th. With the regulation and control policy playing a role in the market, some traders will increase their shipments and the market price of coal will decrease slightly.

However, the daily consumption of the high power plant in the power plant continues to remain high, the environmental protection and safety inspection of the main coal producing areas continue, the price of the pit continues to rise, and the high quality spot resources in the port continue to tighten, to a great extent, to a large extent, supporting a small rise in the price of the port. And along with the main coal enterprises to reduce the price of coal, the joint guarantee for stable prices, to protect the safety of social use of coal, boosting the market stability. From June 15th, coal prices in the port market fell steadily. It is expected that the price of coal will continue to fall slightly in late June.
