BEIJING, April 16 (Reuters) - Chinese coking coal futures surged more than 5% on Friday and were on course for a 6.7% weekly gain, on supply concerns as some major coal producing regions have ramped up safety inspections.
Authorities in provinces and region including Shanxi, Henan and Inner Mongolia have recently stepped up inspection at coal mines following several accidents in the past few months and ordered those with risks to halt production for rectification.
Meanwhile, data from China’s National Statistics Bureau showed that overall coal production in March dipped 0.2% from the same month a year earlier to 340.76 million tonnes.
