　　In terms of producing areas, the policy of ensuring supply in main producing areas continues, the output has increased, the overall supply of thermal coal is still tight, and coal phenomena such as coal boarding in coal mines are still common; In terms of ports, the peak period of civil power has passed, but the downstream demand is still hot.

　　SunSirs analysts believe that the peak season of coal consumption in winter is coming, and the demand for replenishment of power plants is still. Moreover, the thermal coal supply is still relatively tight. It is comprehensively expected that China thermal coal will still operate strongly in the later stage, depending on the downstream market demand.
