according to tianjin market operation monitoring data, in the third week of june (june 12-june 18), the average price of coal in tianjin was 716 yuan/ton, which was flat from the previous month. the overall trend of coal prices this week is in line with expectations: on the one hand, the price risk has been greatly released, and there is strong support near the long-term coal price; on the other hand, the peak demand season of "summer peak" is gradually approaching, and the daily consumption of power plants is rising rapidly , the inventory inflection point appeared; on the one hand, european natural gas prices rose more than expected due to supply-side disturbances, which greatly eased overseas pessimism about traditional energy, and may drive growth in demand for coal alternatives. on the whole, it is expected that the domestic coal supply and demand will continue the basic situation of tight balance in 2023, but the possibility of some periodical and regional tensions is still there, and the central coal price will fall back in the whole year. the price is close, and the coal market will evolve towards loosening.
