China: Thermal coal futures inch up on pre-Spring Festival stockpiling

Thermal coal futures on China’s Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange increased to RMB 759/t ($119.6/t) today, up from last week’s RMB 692/t as power producers stockpile ahead of the Lunar New Year Holidays amid limited supplies from Indonesia. Coal miners in China are expected to maintain normal output during the holidays after a production boost in late-2021 lifted thermal coal stocks to record levels.
