How much is the current price of coal a ton? Will it go up again? Prediction of coal price trend in 2022

At present, the temperature in many parts of the country has plummeted, and it has snowed in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Northeast China. In addition, affected by strong cold air, many areas in the north directly enter winter. With the coming of winter, coal storage began. When it comes to coal, most people think of heating and power generation, but in fact, coal is still an important industrial raw material with a wide range of uses.

In winter, whether residents burn coal or burn coal to generate electricity, there is a great demand for coal, which is at the peak of coal consumption.

It is understood that coal prices have risen in many areas, so how much is the current coal price per ton? Will coal prices rise in the future? Let's take a look at the trend forecast of coal prices in 2022.

Will coal prices rise again?

1, international aspect

From the perspective of the international market, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has further intensified, thus further aggravating the global energy crisis. At the end of September, the "Beixi-1" and "Beixi -2" pipelines were bombed, resulting in energy shortage in Europe. Europe is mainly short of natural gas, and coal is a good substitute for natural gas. Demand will be greater than in previous years, and coal prices will be stronger or stronger, making it difficult to fall.

2. Domestic aspects

Large-scale cooling across the country has led to the early storage of coal in winter, and coal has entered the peak demand season. However, the coal production and transportation in the main producing areas were affected by the epidemic, and all parts of Datong and Erdos implemented silent management. In the short term, the market coal supply is limited, the port spot resources are tight, and coal prices in some areas soar. Judging from the current and later demand, it is expected that the domestic coal market price will fluctuate at a high level in the fourth quarter.

Prediction of coal price trend in late 2022

From this year, including last year, the performance of the entire coal industry is very good. In the later period, the coal market predicted that with the decrease of temperature in the north and south of the Yangtze River, the arrival of heating season, the weakening of water and electricity, and the increase of residents' demand for coal, the transportation and procurement of coal would increase.

In the later period, with the relief of the epidemic, the end of important meetings and the completion of the overhaul of Daqin Line, the port coal price may be the first to end the upward trend, stabilize or fall back.

However, due to factors such as coal storage in winter and industrial electricity consumption, the coal price will still be higher than that in summer in the next two months.

Internationally, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has rapidly pushed up the coal price, and thermal coal, as the best power and fuel for people to spend the winter, will further increase the international coal price with the shortage of natural gas and the huge demand for coal, which will also boost the domestic coal price. In short, there is no basis for a sharp decline in coal prices in the fourth quarter, mainly rising.

That's the introduction of coal price. 70% of China's electricity generation depends mainly on heat energy instead of wind or water. Thermal power generation needs to be realized by burning coal. Industry has always had a great demand for electricity, which will naturally push up the demand for coal. However, with the arrival of winter, the domestic demand for electricity is large, and the demand for coal is difficult to drop. Future coal price forecast is easy to rise and difficult to fall. Let me remind you that it is better to save coal as soon as possible, and the coal price will rise later.
