Global coal supply summary: cost increases soften in 2018, while margins remain buoyant
Report summary
Coal producers kept their focus on maximising margin in a strong price environment. Even though the drivers were similar in 2018, we saw average cost increases ease for thermal coal and moderate for metallurgical coal. This contrasts with a significant year-on-year spike in 2017. Higher diesel costs and increasing strip ratios were offset by weakening currencies against the US dollar, higher productivity and lower royalties for metallurgical coal.
