On February 14, the spot price of imported Russian thermal coal remained stable. As the Spring Festival approaches, market inquiry sentiment is sluggish, and non-power end users have entered holiday status. Spot traders maintained firm quotations, with Q5500 coal in the Jiangsu inland region quoted at 730 yuan/ton. Due to weather impacts, loading and unloading efficiency at Far East regional ports has declined, with few actual transactions, and market sentiment has become more cautious.
