Overseas coal prices continued to rise, and the Australian division is expected to contribute to the performance increment. Since 2022, affected by the recovery of overseas demand, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other factors, overseas energy prices have continued to grow. According to wind data, since April 2022, the average price of Newcastle thermal coal and Australia Fengjing coking coal have increased by 191.8% and 208.56% respectively compared with the average price of 2021q2.

In addition, also affected by the energy shortage, the crude oil price remained high, which helped to increase the price of the company's chemicals and improve the profitability of the company's chemical business.
