Asia Wealth Securities stated that the coal price for December had plunged more than 10% on last Friday’s session, posting a second week of losing streak. The decline in coal price was due to the intervention of the Chinese government that ordered miners to increase output to meet the demand amid the energy crisis in the country. Meanwhile, the easing tension between China and Australia is also a negative sign to stocks related to coal price.

AWS recommended target price for BANPU at Bt14.20 per share and advised to hold LANNA.
