China's July coal output falls to lowest level in over a year
BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China's coal output in July fell to the lowest level since April 2024, data from the statistics bureau showed on Friday, the first year-on-year decline of 2025 in a sign that China's coal output could be easing in response to oversupply. China produced 380.99 million metric tons of coal in July, down 3.8% on the year. Output over the first seven months of the year reached 2.78 billion metric tons, up 3.8% on the back of year-on-year increases during the first six months. Analysts had been closely monitoring whether China would take steps to scale back production and curb oversupply, with expectations mounting that output could begin to decline from the second half of the year. A July 20 document from the energy regulator calling for inspections at coal mines in eight provinces pushed coking coal prices to their trading limit in successive sessions on the expectation of supply disruptions. Although it was not clear that the document represented a coordinated strategy from the central government, it bolstered expectations that supply could be more limited in the second half of the year.

The Acura MDX is a feature-packed, three-row luxury SUV, and this August lease offer could put one in your driveway sooner than you'd expect. Genesis is no longer the quiet newcomer in luxury; the 2025 GV80 Coupe shows up with a faster roofline, more performance, and plenty of swagger. The Toyota Prius lease for August is wallet- and fuel-efficient Thrifty shoppers are lured to the Toyota Prius — now nearly 30 years old and in its fifth generation — for its extremely economical approach to driving. Toyota's August lease offers on the car capitalize on and emphasize its wallet-friendly ethos. In select markets, shoppers can pick up a 2025 Toyota Prius for just $239 per month. The lease runs 36 months and allocates 12,000 miles per year, with lessees responsible for $4,238 due at signing. This lease offer doesn't include taxes, fees, or other charges, so your payment might be a little bit higher. A similar deal — which seems to be localized to the greater NY area — offers the same terms with $3,999 due at signing and a $269 monthly payment. Previous Pause Next Unmute 0:00 / 0:10 Full screen Thinking about buying a Toyota RAV4? These 5 rivals might change your mind Watch More No down payment? No money down on a Prius? Sounds like the perfect angle to get behind the wheel while stockpiling your cash. By spreading the $4,238 due at signing — which is substantial for a lease — over the duration of the 36-month lease, we can get a rough estimate of what a Toyota Prius lease looks like while putting $0 down. It adds up to $118 extra on top of the $239 monthly payment, bringing the new total to $357 per month. This isn't an official $0 down quote, and for the latest Toyota Prius deals and incentives, we recommend visiting Toyota's website and punching in your ZIP code. Or, stop by your local Toyota dealership. Additional information about the Toyota Prius The 2025 Toyota Prius continues its reputation as one of the most fuel-efficient and eco-friendly vehicles on the market, combining distinctive styling with everyday practicality. And, more recently, a sportier design with just a tiny bit more edge than previous Priuses (Prii?). While there isn't anything particularly inspiring happening under the hood — its 2.0-liter four-pot makes just 194 horsepower and comes straight from the Corolla Cross hybrid — that isn't exactly the car's modus operandi. Besides, it's still much quicker than previous generations. Source: Toyota The standard Prius LE is EPA-estimated to achieve 57 mpg in the city and 56 mpg on the highway, and even AWD-equipped models keep those figures over 50. Advanced safety comes courtesy of Toyota Safety Sense, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert, and automatic emergency braking. A 60/40 split-folding rear seat, eight-inch display, and wireless phone integration add further value.
