市场情绪改善，煤价稳中上行

Core Viewpoint - The domestic thermal coal market sentiment has improved in mid-October, leading to a rebound in coal prices, with the main market price for Q5500 thermal coal in the Ordos region rising to 510-525 RMB/ton as of October 13, an increase of 10 RMB/ton from the previous week [1] Market Analysis - The short-term increase in coal prices is primarily driven by lower production from local private coal mines, alongside a rebound in both stockpiling and speculative demand, which has improved market sentiment [1] - Current production levels from major coal mines are stable and within approved capacity, while some local private coal mines are experiencing lower production or have not yet resumed sales [1] - On the demand side, downstream users are showing reasonable purchasing enthusiasm, with stable demand from non-electric end-users such as the chemical industry, and some users are engaging in moderate stockpiling post-holiday [1] - The rise in prices at ports and for large coal enterprises has also led to increased speculative activity among certain traders and users [1] - Market sentiment is recovering, with coal prices expected to stabilize and trend upwards; however, future price movements will depend on the release of winter storage demand before the heating season [1]
