according to the zhejiang provincial important production materials market monitoring system, this week (september 11-september 17), the thermal coal price of monitored sample enterprises in zhejiang province was 800.62 yuan/ton, a price increase of 1.3% month-on-month. recently, safety inspections in major production areas have continued to intensify, causing some coal mines to suspend production and reduce production. at the same time, driven by the peak season of demand from nstream chemical industries, metallurgy, etc., thermal coal prices have risen. in the later period, the daily consumption of power plants will decrease, and nstream procurement will mainly be based on demand. the demand from chemical and metallurgical enterprises is limited. it is expected that thermal coal prices will mainly consolidate in the short term.
