After a year of ups and downs in 2018, the thermal coal market is unlikely to return to any state of calm. Instead, we expect this year will continue thermal coal’s roller-coaster ride, as uncertainty and volatility will persist. With the backdrop of weaker overall global demand, finding a home for additional tonnes will be more competitive this year particularly as we near a price floor for lower-CV coals. This will undoubtedly see some tough decisions being made in 2019 from supply, investment, and political perspectives.
Join us for a 30-minute webinar where we will discuss the top five topics we expect to drive global thermal coal markets in the near term, including:
- Can Chinese import controls bite harder?
- Will demand growth from the rest of Asia fill the gap?
- Will Indonesian producers be squeezed out?
- Softening of high CV coal premiums?
- Increasing volatility?
