Yancoal Australia Ltd's stock soared 10.74% during intraday trading on Thursday, marking a significant upward movement for the coal miner.

The surge in Yancoal's share price tracked a broader rally among Australian coal miners, driven by rising underlying commodity prices. The most active China coking coal contract rose more than 3.8%, providing a positive catalyst for the sector.

Yancoal was the top gainer on the benchmark index during the session, reaching its highest price level in years as investor sentiment toward coal assets improved with the commodity price increase.
