Coal price in Qinhuangdao port

On July 7, 2008, the reporter learned that due to the contradiction between supply and demand, market speculation, coal hoarding and other factors, the national coal price barometer Qinhuangdao coal price rose to 654.38+10,000 yuan per ton, but its absolute increase was 20 yuan/ton. At the same time, Shanxi, a major coal province, promised to vigorously implement the temporary intervention policy of national coal prices or give the market a reassurance.

Although the state has introduced temporary intervention measures for coal prices, coal prices are still rising. "At the beginning of this year, 6,000 kcal Shanxi excellent blended coal was around 500 yuan per ton, and now it has doubled to reach per ton 1000 yuan." An industry insider said.

As of July 7, 2008, the statistics of coal network show that the closing price of Datong excellent blended coal in Qinhuangdao, Shanxi Province is 980- 1000 yuan/ton, Shanxi excellent blended coal is 9 10-940 yuan/ton, ordinary blended coal is 620-640 yuan/ton, Shanxi big blended coal is 820-840 yuan/ton, and ordinary blended coal.

In this regard, Chen Liang, a coal researcher at Ping An Securities, believes that due to the slow resumption of production of small coal mines, there is still a gap in the national coal supply, and the impact of market speculation and coal hoarding, the domestic coal price in Qinhuangdao continued to maintain a strong upward trend in June.

However, "the absolute amount of the general increase in coal prices in Qinhuangdao this week is 10 yuan/ton -20 yuan/ton, which is somewhat convergent compared with the increase of about 50 yuan/ton in the previous week." An industry insider said that this seems to mean that the increase of coal has narrowed.

It is worth noting that just a few days ago, the Shanxi provincial government held several meetings, saying that it would make every effort to increase coal supply, giving the market a reassurance.

Shanxi Province indicated that it will seriously implement the recent temporary intervention policy of the state on coal prices, continue to increase coal production and supply, stabilize coal prices, ensure coal production, ensure coal delivery, ensure contract performance and ensure coal production and supply.

It is reported that Shanxi has put forward clear requirements for all parties involved in coal production and supply. Complete the signing of the purchase and sale contract of key coal in the province before July 10. Railway coal transportation and marketing enterprises should organize key coal transportation in accordance with the principle of "giving priority to coal transportation, giving priority to supplying coal to disaster areas and key users, giving priority to fulfilling key contracts, and planning to submit key contracts in full to the railway transportation plan", strengthen the management of coal transportation and marketing plan, and achieve "ensuring coal transportation, improving the performance rate of key contracts, and ensuring coal supply in the province". In addition, Shanxi is launching a "green channel" for road coal transportation. Ensure the smooth transportation of highway electric coal.

It is estimated that in the first half of this year, Shanxi's coal output will reach more than 330 million tons, an increase of more than 40 million tons over the same period of last year, with an increase of more than 14%. Among them, electric coal 1.8 100 tons was produced, an increase of 289 1.5 million tons or 19% over the same period of last year.

Although from the above data, Shanxi's output increased by a large margin in the first half of the year, the supply of thermal coal is still tight. Therefore, in the second half of the year, Shanxi will organize key state-owned coal enterprises and backbone coal mines with a high degree of mechanization to increase production, speed up the improvement of procedures and construction progress of mines under construction, make these coal mines put into production or trial production as soon as possible, and increase some production capacity.

It is also known that Shanxi will also adjust the coal production structure, producing more electric coal and less coal in the production process, thus increasing the output of the whole coal.
