This week’s view: power coal: in terms of supply, a few coal mines in the producing area have reduced production and stopped production due to the impact of lack of tickets, reversing the working face and overproduction, and the commencement has dropped somewhat. Affected by the Xiaoyi accident in Shanxi, Shanxi and Shaanxi began to investigate safety accidents, which is expected to have an impact on the later coal supply. In terms of demand, the cold air is coming quietly. In the future cold wave in many southern provinces, the daily consumption of power plants will increase slowly. As of December 15, the inventory of power plants in eight coastal provinces was 35.272 million tons, the weekly chain ratio decreased by 702000 tons, the daily consumption was 2.034 million tons, and the chain ratio increased by 42000 tons. At present, the coal supply is mainly guaranteed by changxiehe, and the inventory of power plants has increased rapidly, which is generally higher than that in the same period of previous years. On the whole, the coal mine safety production starts to pay close attention to at the end of the year, and the output will drop somewhat. However, the effect of early supply guarantee is obvious, the power plant inventory is at a high level, and the procurement demand is not strong. In addition, the industrial and civil power is not expected to be optimistic. In some areas, the cement and steel industries have entered the peak staggering production cycle in winter, and the market coal procurement demand is not much, It is expected that the short-term power coal price may run stably. Coking coal: in terms of supply, coal mines in producing areas continued to reduce production. Considering safety production, coking coal supply is still expected to tighten in December. In terms of demand, the operating rate of coking plant has increased, the inventory and available days have increased, and the demand continues to pick up. Overall, under the condition of coke replenishment, the range of coking coal price increase this week is expanded, and it is expected that the short-term coking coal price is expected to be strong. Coke: in terms of supply, the operating rate of coking plant has increased. In terms of demand, the operating rate of blast furnace continued to fall slightly, the coke inventory of steel mills and ports increased, and the coke inventory of coking plants decreased. Overall, with the continuous recovery of steel plant operating rate, coke price stabilized. A few steel mills have implemented the first round of coke price rise. Under the rise of coking coal price, the rise of coke price is expected to land. It is expected that the short-term coke price is expected to run strongly.

In terms of inventory, the inventory of Qinhuangdao port on December 17 was 4.9 million tons, an increase of 30000 tons over last Friday. In terms of supply, a small number of coal mines in the producing area reduced production and stopped production due to the impact of lack of tickets, reversing the working face and overproduction, and the commencement fell somewhat. Affected by the Xiaoyi accident in Shanxi, Shanxi and Shaanxi began to investigate safety accidents, which is expected to have an impact on the later coal supply. In terms of import, as of December 17, Guangzhou Port Company Limited(601228) Australian coal q5500 warehouse raised the price by 1305 yuan / ton, a decrease of 50 yuan / ton compared with last Friday; Guangzhou Port Company Limited(601228) the price of Indonesian coal q5500 warehouse increased by 1305 yuan / ton, a decrease of 50 yuan / ton compared with last Friday.
