Power Coal Upward Lack Port Runs Smoothly in Northern Shaanxi

The overall stability of the power coal in northern Shaanxi is weak and the coal supply in Yulin is still tight. However, due to the high cost of purchasing, traders dare not hoard large quantities of coal, and the sales are weakening. At present, the purchased customers are basically long-term stable customers. The price of coal in some large mines has been lowered by 10-15 CNY/ton due to poor delivery. The sales in Ordos region are normal, and the sales of road land are in the majority. At a high of 1.68 million tons per day, the overall price remained stable, and individual coal prices fluctuated by 5-10 yuan per ton. The downstream demand of the port market is stable.

The downstream demand of the port market is basically stable, the downstream demand is general, the buyers and sellers are deadlocked, the transaction is not much, the mainstream quotation of the power coal (CV5500) is about 620 CNY/ton, (CV5500) the mainstream quotation is about 525-530 CNY/ton. Influenced by insufficient shipping profits, the reduction of railway freight rates in Hutie Railway Administration has not had a significant impact on TRADERS'mentality for the time being.

Shipping schedule continues to release. At present, the inventory of downstream power plants is high, the motive force of replenishment demand is insufficient, and the oil price drops slightly, the support of the shipowner's bid price is insufficient, and the market is weak as a whole. However, some ports in the North appear pressure ports, and the turnover of transport capacity is slow, which supports the freight price to a certain extent. Yes, the freight rate goes down narrowly. As of May 15, the North-Jiangyin (W) freight rate of the river route was 42.5-43.5 CNY/ton, and the daily-to-ring ratio decreased by 0.5 CNY/ton; the average freight rate of Qinhuangdao-Guangzhou (5-6W) ships was 41.9 CNY/ton, and the daily-to-ring ratio decreased by 0.1 CNY/ton.
