Global thermal short-term outlook December 2022
Report summary
December’s situation seems like a tale of two different thermal coal markets. On the one hand, benchmark high-CV coal prices, which entered the month on a strong note, started trending downwards as we approached the month-end. On the other hand, low-rank Indonesian coal prices, which fell for most of last month, kept rising throughout December. Read our latest report to read for our views on: - How will thermal coal prices trend as we enter 2023? - Will seaborne thermal coal demand remain strong through next year? - How will Covid-19 cases impact seaborne thermal coal demand? - Will long will it take seaborne thermal coal supplies to recover?
