Data recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics show that the prices of various coal types across the country began to weaken in mid-October. The specific price changes of each coal type are as follows:
The price of anthracite (washed medium block, volatile content ≤8%) is 1,443.8 yuan/ton, down 20.0 tons or 1.4% from the previous issue.
The price of ordinary mixed coal (a mixture of Shanxi pulverized coal and lump coal, calorific value 4,500 kcal) is 764.8 yuan/ton, down 6.2 yuan/ton or 0.8% from the previous issue.
The price of Shanxi Dashan (high-quality blended coal with a calorific value of 5,000 kcal) was 911.5 yuan/ton, a decrease of 9.8 yuan/ton or 1.1% from the previous issue.
The price of Shanxi Youmix (high-quality blended coal, calorific value 5,500 kcal) is 1,018.6 yuan/ton, down 12.7 yuan/ton or 1.2% from the previous issue.
The price of coking coal (main coking coal, sulfur content <1%) was 2,240.6 yuan/ton, down 9.4 yuan/ton or 0.4% from the previous period.
It can be seen from the above data that in mid-October, the prices of various coal types across the country ended their previous upward trend and turned downward; among them, the decline of anthracite was relatively obvious, the decline of coking coal was smaller, and the higher the calorific value of thermal coal The greater the decline.
