Ordos thermal coal prices were pressured by local sluggish demand. One local mine cut prices of chemical coal (CV 5,700, S 0.4%) by 5 yuan/t to 605 yuan/t, mine-mouth with VAT. Several mines cut or suspended production after completing annual output goals, while most mines have lowered their prices to intra-year lows. Coal stocks at some mines lingered high amid unsmooth sales.
