China's coal imports are increasing year by year, and importers can also use thermal coal enterprises to hedge the risk of price changes caused by long shipping time. Thermal coal futures and iron ore futures, which may be listed this year, enrich the futures varieties of coal, steel and coke industry chains, and are also beneficial for institutions to design relevant arbitrage and hedging strategies.

The listing of thermal coal futures is good for coal stocks. The coal concept stocks in the two cities are: kailuan shares, Xishan Coal and Electricity, Jizhong Energy, Panjiang, Coal Gasification, Lu 'an Huaneng, Shenhuo, Yanzhou Coal, Haohua Energy, Pingmei, Shanxi Coking and yongtai energy.
