Global thermal coal short-term outlook March 2019: pricing lost amid market fog
Report summary
Depending on which side of the trade table you sit, March import coal pricing could be seen as a blessing or a curse. Demand is pressured as Chinese cargo clearance times at major northern and south ports now appear to stretch out into May. The ripple effect drive down prices on all but Indonesian and Australian high CV coals. European demand withered as the continent came out of an especially mild winter coupled with strong renewables and low gas pricing. As we enter the shoulder season, where do we expect prices to go?
