China Taiyuan coal transaction price index stood at 134.78 points Monday, up 0.66 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 price kept rising as the demand for heating and electricity in winter is high while production capacity is kept at a low level.

With more than 10,000 registered coal traders, the CTCTC is the largest coal trading center in China.
