On June 1, China Shenhua Energy rose 3.11% in regular trading, trading at HKD 46.46/share, with trading volume of HKD 184 million.
The rally was driven by a convergence of supply-side tightening and seasonal demand expectations across the coal sector. Following a major gas explosion at a coal mine in Shanxi Province on May 22, nationwide safety inspections have intensified significantly, leading to expanded mine shutdowns and reduced production output. Simultaneously, Indonesia announced the nationalization of coal export operations, further constraining overseas supply.
On the demand side, meteorological authorities forecast potential El Nino conditions, with summer peak electricity load projected to reach 1.6 billion kilowatts nationally. Power plant coal inventories stood at only 12.94 million tons with just 17.8 days of available supply, creating urgent restocking needs. Institutions noted that coal price upward momentum is strengthening, with import coal price inversion persisting, and sector earnings improvement expected as peak summer demand materializes. Brokerages project domestic thermal coal prices could break above RMB 900/ton this summer.
Within the Coal sector, Yankuang Energy rose 4.12%, China Coal gained 2.77%, CGN Mining advanced 3.43%, Yancoal Australia climbed 2.41%, and Kinetic Development added 1.5%.
