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.
