The price of thermal coal has rebounded close to 100 yuan/ton, and the downside potential is limited [5] Summary by Sections Q2 2025 Performance Summary - The coal industry is at a performance bottom, with improvements anticipated. Q2 2025 saw a high national raw coal output but a significant drop in commodity coal consumption during the off-season, leading to a supply-demand imbalance and falling prices [2][11] Supply - July's coal production decreased significantly due to rainfall and production checks, with a month-on-month reduction of 40 million tons and a year-on-year decrease of 9 million tons. The supply tightening expectations remain [3][30] Demand - July marked the peak demand season, with a notable improvement in coal consumption. National commodity coal consumption reached 450 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.9% and a month-on-month increase of 12.5%. The upcoming non-electric consumption peak season is expected to sustain coal demand [4][67] Inventory - Inventory levels across various segments have decreased, with port inventories lower than the same period last year, potentially supporting coal prices [5] Price - Coal prices are expected to rebound due to supply contraction expectations and the upcoming non-electric demand peak season. The price of thermal coal has rebounded close to 100 yuan/ton, with limited downside potential [5]

Core Viewpoint - The coal market is expected to experience a downward trend in prices in the first half of 2025 due to changes in supply-demand dynamics, policy adjustments, and international market fluctuations [1] Group 1: Price Trends - In the first half of 2025, coal prices reached a five-year low, with thermal coal prices hitting new lows and coking coal and coke prices at an eight-year low due to an oversupply situation [2] - The price fluctuations in the first half of the year showed a pattern of initial increase followed by a decline, with prices touching a low in March and April before rebounding in May due to rising demand from thermal power generation [3] Group 2: Supply and Demand Dynamics - The overall supply-demand imbalance in the coal market has not changed significantly, with domestic production capacity being limited and high levels of imported coal maintaining a relatively loose supply [4] - The demand from the electricity sector is expected to increase seasonally during the summer, but the growth will be constrained by the rise of renewable energy sources, leading to overall weak demand in non-electric sectors [4] Group 3: Future Outlook - Analysts predict that while there may be a rebound in coal prices during the summer peak demand period, the overall price center is likely to shift downward due to persistent supply-demand imbalances [5] - The coal market will continue to face pressures from high supply, weak demand, and high inventory levels, with potential challenges from domestic capacity releases and ongoing imports [5]

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is Neutral [1] Core Insights - Port inventory is being reduced, and coal prices may be nearing the bottom.
