Coal mining sector strengthens, institutions expect coking coal market to remain robust in September
On August 27, the coal mining sector rose 3.05% during trading, with constituent stocks such as Jiangwu Equipment, Haohua Energy, Huayang Shares, Yankuang Energy, and Jinneng Holding Coal Industry leading gains. In terms of news, the China Coal Transportation and Distribution Association stated that overall coking coal prices in September are prone to rise but hard to fall, and nine institutions are unanimously bullish on the coking coal market for September 2026, with a quantified average strength model reading of 1.017, the highest since 2026 began. The association cautioned that the highly consistent tight market expectations warrant vigilance against market shifts under consensus expectations. Shenwan Hongyuan Research noted that in 2026 the coal industry will undergo deep supply-side optimization, while demand-side resilience of coal-fired power peak shaving becomes more prominent, and chemical coal demand is expected to remain buoyant throughout the year. Cinda Securities research argued that China's coal output will enter a peak plateau period during the 15th Five-Year Plan, remaining at a high level of 4.78 billion tonnes by 2030, providing long-term demand support for the coal mining machinery industry.
