What is the underlying reason behind the rise in coal prices?

The rise in coal prices indicates that the industrial economy has obviously picked up.

Recently, the overall price of coal has been rising. Among them, thermal coal rose the most, which was caused by industrial recovery after the epidemic subsided. Because under the premise that the state controls coal production, the price of coal is highly market-oriented, the supply is basically unchanged, and the price will increase accordingly when the demand increases.

It is normal for coal prices to fluctuate, and a moderate increase in coal prices is a good thing. First of all, the increase in coal prices can alleviate the production pressure of coal production enterprises to some extent; Second, an appropriate increase in coal prices will be conducive to the development of other alternative energy sources; Third, coal prices are completely controlled by the state mechanism.

The increase in coal prices is due to the state's control over the total coal production, so the policy of energy structure adjustment will certainly continue. The national media control policy is closely related to climate change, environmental pollution and the change of the country's overall economic growth mode, and will not be greatly adjusted because of short-term coal price fluctuations.
