Report summary

China’s coal market experienced tightness in Q2 as a range of supply issues in various producing regions meant that supply struggled to meet robust demand. Both thermal and metallurgical coal prices were well supported at high points, with the QHD price reaching RMB900/t and the Anze premium coking coal price RMB2,200/t. The State Council held multiple meetings to stabilise soaring commodity prices, and a pullback in prices followed. However, we believe prices will still be well supported as supply remains constrained due to mine safety concerns. Read our report to find out more.

Surge or slump – prices could go either way
Coking coal prices remain high despite drastic swing in steel prices
Power cuts appear amid strong demand
Slack season for steel demand doesn't mean weak coking coal demand
Disrupted supply tightens the market
