- Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The overall domestic coal supply remains abundant, with stable production in major coal - producing areas. The coal开工率 in Ordos and Yulin regions is high, with a daily output of about 4 million tons. [3] - Power plant inventories are high and the destocking process is slow. Due to the impact of imported coal, power plants only make necessary purchases. The decline in port out - shipments leads to passive inventory accumulation at ports, and the available resources for sale are abundant. [3] - As the temperature rises nationwide, the daily coal consumption of power plants will increase seasonally, but the number of available inventory days is high, and the port FOB price continues to decline. [3] - In the pithead area, the operating rate of coal - chemical products is high, and the demand for chemical coal is fair. However, the long - term agreement coal of power plants overflows, weakening the support for pithead prices. It is expected that coal prices will continue to decline. [3] 3. Summary According to the Catalog 3.1 Price and Spread - Pithead prices are continuously falling. As of May 20, the 5500K pithead price in Datong was 455 yuan/ton, down 30 yuan/ton from last week; in Ordos, it was 425 yuan/ton, also down 30 yuan/ton; and the 5800K pithead price in Yulin was 469 yuan/ton, down 21 yuan/ton from last week. [8] - Port FOB prices continue to decline. [11] 3.2 Supply and Demand - Production: The production of major coal - producing area mines is stable. The coal开工率 in Ordos and Yulin regions is high, with a daily output of about 4 million tons. [3] - Inventory: Port inventories are high but have decreased. As of May 20, the inventory of Bohai Rim ports was about 29.73 million tons, a decrease of 1.5 million tons from the high level. Coastal power plant inventories are slowly destocking, and inland power plant inventories remain high. The total inventory of national power plants is at a high level compared to the same period in previous years, and the destocking speed is slow. [3] - Consumption: The daily consumption of coastal power plants is hovering at a low level, and the destocking is slow. The daily consumption of inland power plants is slowly increasing, and the inventory is continuously destocking. The total daily consumption of national power plants is slowly increasing, but the inventory is accumulating. The daily consumption of key national power plants is declining, and the inventory is continuously destocking. [3][65][70] - Coal - chemical industry: The operating rate of coal - chemical products such as methanol and urea is high, and the weekly chemical coal consumption is also at a certain level. The profit of coal - chemical products is also a factor affecting coal demand. [82][85][87] - Power generation: The total power generation has declined. The monthly thermal power generation has decreased by 6% year - on - year, and the proportion of thermal power generation has also changed. The power generation of hydropower, new energy, etc. also shows different trends. [96][100][102] - Freight: Domestic coastal freight rates have stabilized at the bottom, and international sea freight rates are also an influencing factor. [103][105] 3.3 Meso - level Data - From January to April, China imported 152.67 million tons of coal, a year - on - year decrease of 5.3%. [107] - From January to April, the cumulative coal production was 1.58473 billion tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.6%. [111]
