China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 131.11 points Monday, down 0.8 percent week on week.
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 that the power coal market has a low turnover rate and the coal inventories continue to rise.
With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
