China Qinhuangdao coal price 2003-2021
The China Qinhuangdao coal spot price reached an average of 153.55 U.S. dollars per metric ton in 2021. This was the peak in the period of consideration and a result of growing energy demand as the world economy recovered from the coronavirus pandemic-induced slump. A coal shortage in the latter half of the year led to multiple power blackouts across China and pushed coal prices further upwards.
