Supply and Demand Analysis - As of July 17, the daily coal consumption across 25 provinces was 6.33 million tons, up 11.1% week-on-week. The total coal inventory was 123.41 million tons, down 0.8% from the previous week, with a usable days supply of 19.5 days, a decrease of 2.3 days [22][41]. Individual Company Analysis - The report highlights specific companies with significant operational elasticity: Pingmei Shenma, Jinkong Coal, and Shanmei International are noted as elastic stocks. For long-term stable profit leaders, China Coal Energy and China Shenhua are recommended, while for transformation and growth, Electric Power Investment and Xinji Energy are suggested [8][38]. Price Trends - The report indicates that the price of thermal coal is expected to remain supported in the short term due to tight supply conditions, while coking coal prices are also expected to maintain strength due to ongoing demand from steel production [22][49].

Measures include enhancing coal quality, optimizing product structure, and applying information technology to reduce costs [3][9][11]. Market Outlook - **Future Price Trends**: The coal price is expected to stabilize after the peak summer demand period, with a forecast of continued price support in July. However, the upper price limit may face pressure due to high inventory levels and stable supply [12][13]. Additional Considerations - **Environmental and Safety Investments**: The company emphasizes the importance of safety and environmental investments, which limit the potential for significant cost reductions in certain areas [6][10]. - **Innovation and Technology**: The company is exploring innovative approaches and technology applications to enhance operational efficiency and adapt to market uncertainties [9].
