Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [9]. Core Viewpoints - The recent coal mine accident in Fujian has raised concerns about the vulnerability of coal supply in China. The accident is expected to amplify local safety regulation efforts, potentially impacting coal supply. Despite this, stable demand and rigid supply constraints suggest that coal prices may continue to rise in the short term [2][7]. - The coal index (Yangtze) increased by 0.99% this week, underperforming the CSI 300 index by 3.19 percentage points, ranking last among all industries [6][14]. - The market anticipates that the upcoming "Golden September and Silver October" period will support coal demand, particularly as non-electric demand begins to pick up [6][7]. Summary by Sections Supply and Demand Overview - As of August 21, the daily coal consumption in 25 provinces was 6.427 million tons, up 8.0% week-on-week. The supply of coal was 6.324 million tons, an increase of 3.8% [31]. - The total coal inventory in these provinces was 119.798 million tons, a decrease of 0.4% from the previous week, with an available days supply of 18.6 days, down 1.6 days [31]. Price Trends - As of August 22, the market price for Qinhuangdao 5500 kcal thermal coal was 704 RMB/ton, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 6 RMB/ton (+0.86%) [38]. - The price for coking coal at Jingtang Port remained stable at 1610 RMB/ton [6]. Market Performance - The report highlights that the coal sector's performance has been mixed, with the thermal coal index rising by 1.09% and the coking coal index increasing by 0.76%, both underperforming compared to the CSI 300 index [14][18]. - The report identifies several companies with strong investment potential, including Yanzhou Coal Mining Company, Shanxi Coking Coal Group, and China Shenhua Energy [8]. Company Announcements - China Shenhua announced the approval of its Chongqing Wanzhou Power Plant expansion project, which will add 2×1000 MW capacity [52]. - Yanzhou Coal's Australian subsidiary reported a revenue of 2.675 billion AUD for the first half of 2025 [53]. Future Outlook - The report suggests that while daily consumption may gradually decline, the overall demand for coal remains robust, supported by seasonal factors and ongoing supply constraints [6][15]. - The focus will be on monitoring safety regulations and their impact on supply, as well as the performance of coal prices in the context of broader market conditions [7][8].

Investment Strategy - The report highlights that global oil and gas capital expenditures are on a downward trend, leading to a slowdown in supply growth. Since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, capital expenditures in the oil and gas upstream sector have significantly decreased, with a notable drop of nearly 22% from the 2014 peak [9][29]. - The report indicates that major energy companies are facing increasing pressure from policies aimed at carbon reduction, prompting them to shift focus towards energy transition and renewable projects. This trend is expected to continue, resulting in a sustained reduction in capital expenditures for oil and gas [9][29]. - The report notes that the active drilling rig count in the U.S. remains low, which may lead to a slowdown in U.S. oil production growth. The OPEC+ group is also expected to maintain limited supply increases in the coming year [9][29]. Oil Market - The Brent crude oil price is reported at $67.93 per barrel, reflecting a slight increase of 0.03% week-on-week, while WTI crude oil is at $63.13 per barrel, down 0.28% [31][30]. - The report mentions that geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have contributed to fluctuations in oil prices, with expectations of resilient demand amid limited supply growth [10][29]. Coal Market - The report states that the average market price for Qinhuangdao port thermal coal (Q5500) is 703 RMB per ton, showing a week-on-week increase of 1.59%. The market is characterized by stable prices, with downstream demand primarily driven by essential purchases [11][12]. - Inventory levels at major ports are reported to be 23.336 million tons, down 1.27% week-on-week, indicating a tightening supply situation [11][12]. - The report highlights that domestic coal production is being affected by weather conditions, but overall supply remains sufficient to meet demand from power plants and the chemical industry [11][12]. Coking Coal Market - The report indicates that the coking coal market is currently in a stalemate, with prices for coking coal remaining stable at 1,610 RMB per ton. The market is influenced by fluctuating raw material prices and the profitability of downstream steel enterprises [14][15]. - The report notes that the average daily pig iron production from 247 steel mills is 2.4082 million tons, reflecting a slight increase of 0.04% week-on-week, which supports the demand for coking coal [14][15]. Natural Gas Market - The report highlights a breakthrough in natural gas helium extraction technology in China, with a new device achieving a helium purity level of 6N9. This development is expected to enhance the domestic helium supply [16][17]. - Natural gas prices in the U.S. have decreased, with the NYMEX natural gas average at $2.81 per million British thermal units, down 2.2% week-on-week [16][17]. Oilfield Services - The report emphasizes that the oilfield services sector is expected to maintain its growth due to government policies aimed at increasing oil and gas reserves. The capital expenditure for major oil companies is projected to remain high, supporting the oilfield services industry's outlook [18][19]. - The global active rig count is reported at 1,621, with a slight increase of 21 rigs week-on-week, indicating ongoing activity in the oilfield services sector [18][19].
