In terms of origin, most of the coal mines are in normal production, but due to the impact of the epidemic situation, some of the coal mines have stopped production and sales. Yulin canceled the coal management ticket in September, and the coal output has increased to a certain extent. The downstream mainly purchases thermal coal on demand, but does not accept high priced coal.
In terms of downstream ports, the price is mainly firm. The port inventory has decreased due to the temperature change. Currently, the port coal price is still supported, but does not accept high priced coal, and most of them are still wait-and-see.
