February 27: Imported thermal coal prices showed strong performance. Following the holiday, terminal users and traders gradually returned to the market. Although coastal power plants released some staged restocking demand, traders' participation fell short of expectations due to procurement cost pressures, and the weak demand pattern in the import market continued. Currently, Q5500 Russian coal on Panama vessels has a cost-insurance-and-freight price of approximately 725 yuan/ton to Northern Port, Q5500 Australian coal on Panama vessels has a cost-insurance-and-freight price of approximately 780 yuan/ton to South China regional ports, and Q3800 Indonesian coal on Panama vessels has a cost-insurance-and-freight price of approximately 510 yuan/ton to South China regional ports.
