On February 24, the national development and Reform Commission issued the notice on further improving the coal market price formation mechanism, which made it clear that the medium and long-term tax inclusive price of underground coal (q5500) in Qinhuangdao port is between 570 yuan / ton and 770 yuan / ton, which is narrower than the price range (550 yuan / ton – 850 yuan / ton) published in the work plan for signing and performing medium and long-term coal contracts in 2022 (Exposure Draft) at the end of December last year, The company is expected to further reduce the cost of raw coal extracted from abroad, support the olefin price under the high level of crude oil, gradually enter the peak demand in summer according to the Convention, and its profitability is expected to be further improved.
