Commodity Market Report
Global metallurgical short-term outlook September 2023
Report summary
Australia’s supply struggles were again exposed by a truck suspension at Peak Downs and further port constraints in Queensland. This shortfall in premium-hard coking coal elevated spot prices by US$60/t in September, despite moderate demand. We expect PHCC prices to remain above US$300/t in the final quarter of 2023, driven by higher Indian demand after the monsoon season.
Table of contents
- Price jump driven by supply shortages and a lack of confidence in Australia’s ability to increase output
- Indian demand set to return, while Europe moves into seasonal decline
- Higher prices to remain for longer than we had previously forecast as supply problems persist
