Report summary
The Spring always brings weaker fundamentals to the coal markets as electricity demand falls off with milder weather – but this year there are additional underlying weaknesses. Domestically, Henry Hub natural gas prices will struggle to get above US$2.80/mmbtu while basis to many regions of the country is very low, or even negative, driving deeper coal to gas switching. 23 GW of renewables is scheduled to come online this year. Weak international demand coupled with supply recovery in Asia is collapsing international prices. As a result, US spot coal prices will fall. However, there are some mitigating circumstances that will slow the rate of decline.
