Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [10]. Core Insights - The recent environmental inspections by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in five provinces are expected to influence coal supply and prices, but their impact may not be significant enough to drive price increases alone. However, if these inspections coincide with improved demand, there could be upward pressure on coal prices [2][7]. - The coal index (Yangtze) decreased by 0.27% this week, outperforming the CSI 300 index by 0.82 percentage points, ranking 26th out of 32 industries [6][25]. - As of May 30, the market price for thermal coal at Qinhuangdao was 611 RMB/ton, remaining stable week-on-week.

Summary by Sections Environmental Inspections Impact - The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has initiated inspections in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, lasting about one month. Historical data suggests that previous inspections did not significantly suppress coal supply, indicating that the current inspections may not independently drive price increases [2][7]. Market Performance - The coal sector's performance this week showed a decline of 0.27%, with thermal coal and coking coal indices experiencing slight variations. The thermal coal index fell by 0.09%, while the coking coal index dropped by 0.85% [25][28]. - The report highlights that the demand for thermal coal is expected to rise as the summer peak approaches, with power plants gradually increasing their inventory needs [6][25].
