（1）供给端：东部地区煤炭产量已呈现衰减趋势，新疆地区虽具备增产潜力，但外运成本高昂，叠 加"反内卷"下煤炭企业开工率受限，预计供给难有增量；（2）需求端：2025年1-9月，我国地产新开工 面积累计同比-15.0%，若全年维持该增速，则2025年我国人均新开工面积可能已降至0.45平/人，已低于 日本历史最低水平，接近美国历史最低水平，进一步下降空间十分有限；同时在"136"号文的背景下， 2025年5月31日后新能源装机量明显下滑，预计新能源对煤电的挤压作用将逐步减少；（3）供需对比： 预计供需压力最大的时刻已过，2026年煤炭供需宽松程度将小于2025年。 2026年煤价预计震荡上行，波动可能放大 （1）2026年动力煤期货有望回归，2025年9月30日，郑州商品交易所集中发布两份关键公告，标志着动 力煤期货的系统性、分步骤重启工作已经启动，同时目前动力煤港口库存已降至低于去年同期水平，低 库存将为煤价带来更高的弹性；（2）焦煤和动力煤有比价关系，动力煤波动幅度增加会影响焦煤价 格，2013年以来，焦煤期货与港口5500大卡动力煤价格的比值中枢在2倍左右，目前该比值为1.5倍，处 于历史极低水平，目前焦 ...
