Investment Rating - The report maintains an "Accumulate" rating for the coal mining industry [1] Core Viewpoints - The current coal prices are primarily affected by weaker-than-expected demand and high inventory levels, limiting upward momentum. Short-term demand is expected to rely on long-term contracts and essential purchases from power plants, while non-electric enterprises show weak demand as temperatures warm in March. Therefore, significant increases in coal prices are unlikely in the short term [1] - The report emphasizes the importance of monitoring the incremental insurance funds and suggests a preference for resource stocks due to ongoing fixed-income asset shortages and high dividend asset levels [2] Summary by Sections Industry Overview - During the week from February 24 to February 28, the spot price of thermal coal at ports decreased to 690 CNY/ton, reflecting a downward trend [1] - Daily average coal inflow to the four ports in the Bohai Rim region was 1.7946 million tons, a slight increase of 0.0043 million tons (0.24%) from the previous week.
