Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [9] Core Insights - The resilience of demand must be paired with the rigidity of supply to support a stable coal price cycle. Developed countries have already entered a downward supply channel, while countries with current supply growth may face similar risks in the future. The combination of supply rigidity and demand resilience is expected to lead to a stable global coal supply-demand pattern [2][7] Summary by Sections Introduction - The report emphasizes that the stability of coal prices requires a logical closure formed by supply rigidity. It explores the long-term perspectives on demand, supply, and costs, aiming to clarify the medium to long-term price center of coal [5][17] Experience from Developed Countries - Coal supply changes are primarily influenced by resource endowment and demand variations. Countries with shrinking coal supply account for about 19% of global supply, including the US, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and South Africa. Historical trends indicate that long-term coal supply contraction is typically due to resource depletion, long transportation distances, and stringent environmental policies [5][35] Outlook for Growing Countries - China faces supply growth constraints due to resource depletion in Shanxi and central eastern regions. Indonesia and Russia are experiencing rising costs. Countries with ongoing coal supply growth account for approximately 77% of global supply, with China alone accounting for 50%. Future projections indicate potential supply shortages in China and declining production in Indonesia due to increased export costs [6][7] Investment Recommendations - The report suggests that the combination of supply rigidity and demand resilience will prolong the duration of coal price flattening. It recommends several companies for investment based on their performance and market conditions, including Yanzhou Coal Mining Company, Shanxi Coking Coal Group, and China Shenhua Energy [7][9]
