Report summary
Thermal and metallurgical coal markets experienced notable price fluctuations and cost management efforts in 2023, influenced by global supply and demand dynamics, weather conditions, and strategic industry investments. The thermal coal price decline in 2023, compared to historic-high 2022 prices, was driven by a combination of factors, including increased supply, milder weather conditions, and ample stockpiles at European coal-fired power plants. Metallurgical coal prices were supported by Chinese buyers resuming imports from Australia in February 2023. This resumption contributed to maintaining high prices throughout the year. Factors such as global steel demand, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions also played an essential role in influencing metallurgical coal prices in 2023.
