Coal news and updates

China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 139.27 points Monday, up 0.48 percent week on week.

 

The index, released by China Taiyuan Coal Transaction Center (CTCTC) based in Shanxi, a coal-rich province, reflects the coal price levels and changes in the main production areas of China. It is published every Monday.

 

Analysts said that as the security and environmental inspection of coal mines in major producing areas have tightened, some coal mines have been suspended for rectification, contributing to a slight rise in coal prices.

 

With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
