The Department of Commerce of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region stated that the operating rate of coal enterprises has increased and the market supply capacity has improved. As the temperature rises, the purchase of heating enterprises decreases. The off-season of seasonal demand leads to a drop in daily consumption of power plants, and weak demand in the downstream market. The overall market is mainly on the sidelines, the trading activity is sluggish, and the pace of some traders and terminal purchases has slowed down, which jointly drove the month-on-month drop in coal prices. It is expected that the coal market will be stable in the near future, and prices will fluctuate.
