Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The pattern of loose supply and demand for thermal coal will continue, and prices may fluctuate at the bottom. Some medium and low - calorie coal mines with high cost - effectiveness in the production areas have good sales and relatively firm prices. However, as the off - season for power plants approaches, the demand expectation weakens, and the restocking demand of non - power industries has not been significantly released, restricting the upward momentum of prices. In the off - season, prices are expected to operate weakly. Attention should be paid to the recovery of non - power industry demand and the progress of port inventory reduction [1][15] Summary by Relevant Contents Market Review - Futures Market: On the last trading day of last week, the thermal coal contract ZC2505 had no trading.
