They have since fallen and are currently around US$350/t. • Demand for metallurgical coal has remained strong in India, backed by a firm domestic economy, and in Southeast Asia, reflecting the start of operations at new blast furnaces, but demand in other regions has been weak due to worldwide economic slowdown. • The recent price increases are thought to be due mainly to production issues and supply restrictions affecting Australian suppliers. 38
