Yanzhou Coal (01171) Short-term Analysis: Can Rising Coal Prices and Sector Strength Lead to a Breakthrough?
Entering mid-March, the energy sector of Hong Kong stocks has shown strong activity, with Yanzhou Energy (01171) continuing its robust performance since the beginning of the year. As of the close on March 6, 2026, Yanzhou Coal was trading at HKD 14.4, up 2.56% for the day, with a turnover of HKD 1.239 billion, indicating significantly increased trading activity. On March 9, as the entire coal sector of Hong Kong stocks strengthened, Yanzhou Coal followed suit, rising 5.9% to HKD 15.25, driven by favorable factors such as rising overseas coal prices, creating positive market sentiment.
I. Short-term Technical Analysis
According to the March 3 view of [HK Stocks Podcast], analyst Simon pointed out that since Yanzhou Coal started its upward trend from the January low of 9.51 yuan, it has accumulated a rise of nearly 50% and is now approaching short-term resistance near 15 yuan. Combining the latest trend, here are the key points—no need to understand complex indicators, just focus on the critical signals:
- Bullish Signal: The stock price is firmly above the 10-day, 30-day, and 60-day moving averages, indicating a clear strong trend, with a higher probability of continued gains in the future.
- Upside Potential: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 63, not yet entering the 'overbought zone' (generally ≥70), meaning there is still room for the stock price to rise further without worrying about an overextended short-term increase.
- Clear Key Levels (Focus on these two): ① Resistance Level: Simon also mentioned that close attention should be paid to the 14.9-yuan mark; breaking through this could lead to further challenges up to 15.6 yuan. ② Support Level: Primary support at 13.3 yuan; as long as it doesn't break below this level, the bullish pattern will remain intact; if it breaks, watch for key support at 12.2 yuan.
In summary: The overall technical picture looks positive. As long as 13.3 yuan support holds, there’s potential to break through the 14.9-yuan resistance and move towards levels above 15 yuan.

II. Warrant Deployment
The core idea of warrants is 'using small capital to capture underlying stock volatility.' Previously, we looked at Yanzhou Coal call warrants, which surged by 23% over two trading days, while the underlying stock only rose 2.22% during the same period, showing significant leverage effect. Based on current support and resistance levels, we have selected four suitable call warrants for different expectations, providing clear comparisons for selection based on your needs:
First, we recommend HSBC Call Warrants (24441) $HSYKENR@EC2607A.C (24441.HK)$ , with a strike price of 13.51 yuan, offering approximately 5.2x leverage, with reasonable leverage and volatility levels, enabling efficient tracking of the underlying stock's upward movement. This is suitable for general investors expecting the stock price to hold above the support level and break upwards. Next is Huatai Call Warrants (13705) $HUYKENR@EC2607A.C (13705.HK)$ , with the same exercise price as HSBC Call Warrants (13.51 yuan), providing around 5.3x leverage. Its core advantage lies in having the lowest premium and volatility among similar products, lower entry costs, and minimal time decay, making it more defensive. It’s ideal for investors seeking stability and wanting to avoid high costs.
For those with extremely high expectations for the future market and who can bear a certain level of risk, you may consider the BOC call warrant (26206).$BIYKENR@EC2611A.C (26206.HK)$ Its strike price is set at HKD 17.72, offering 4.15x leverage, making it an aggressive product designed to capture the accelerated upside once the stock price breaks above HKD 15.6. Lastly, there's the UBS Group call warrant (22686) with a strike price of HKD 14.01, providing 5.43x leverage. The terms are close to the current price, highly sensitive to movements in the underlying stock, with a premium of only 5.43% and low time value erosion, suitable for investors expecting a short-term breakout in the stock price and looking to quickly profit from the difference.
