Commodity Market Report
Global metallurgical coal short-term outlook December 2023
Report summary
Australian PLV HCC prices rose in December amid supply disruption in Australia, caused by cyclone Jasper and associated congestion at Queensland ports. PLV HCC price may gain further strength in the near term if there is an industrial strike at BMA mines by the end of December. India remains focal to the seaborne market, and we expect Indian demand to improve in Q1 2024 due to strengthening domestic steel prices and improving construction activity ahead of general elections in 2024. Chinese metallurgical coal imports may ease in Q1 2024 due to healthy restocking ahead of the Chinese New Year. Read our report to understand: • What will be the impacts of cyclone Jasper on metallurgical coal supply from Australia? • How will the fiscal stimulus measures impact Chinese crude steel production and metallurgical coal demand in 2024? • What is the outlook for Australian supply in 2024 and 2025? • How will prices develop in the near term?
