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 the increase of hydroelectric power generation as a result of more rainy days in south China, and the weak demand for coal in the market resulted in a small decline in coal prices.
With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
