[Ferro-Alloys.com] China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 139.58 points Monday, up 0.4 percent week on week.

The index, released by China Taiyuan Coal Transaction Center (CTCTC) based in Shanxi, a coal-rich province, reflects the coal price levels and changes in the main production areas of China. It is published every Monday.

Analysts said that domestic security inspection and environmental protection inspection have been strengthened recently, leading to an increase in coal mine production stoppage and restriction, and the thermal coal market continues to supply tightly.

With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
