Report summary
Military action by the US and Israel against Iran, and Tehran's response, have upended global energy markets, pushing coal back into the spotlight. Governments are turning to coal to secure energy supplies as LNG routes face disruption. Any sustained conflict will maintain upward pressure on coal prices, with Asian buyers switching from expensive gas to coal and driving a global price rally.
