Under the interaction of policies
of macro control and safety production in 2006, it is anticipated
that the domestic coal market will maintain steady, while it may come
up to be firstly tight and then easy, with coal prices to be steady
and keep growing.
In term of product capacity, the acceleration of its growth is
to be slow down for the first half of 2006, while it is expected
to be enhanced for the latter half with the capacity growth of newly
established coal mines. On the other hand, with the influence of
national safety management, the production capacity of township
will first decrease and then increase. In term of coal demand, the
coal market is to be strained, for the period between the end of
2005 and the beginning of 2006 is the boom time, accompanying the
successive operation of new series of power plants and the insufficient
support of coal by hydropower plants during low water period.
With the restrictions on high-consumption industries by national
macro control, there would be not large increase of demand of coal,
as a result, the coal market will keep a substantial balance.
