• Metallurgical coal index prices continued to rise after
bottoming out around US$220/t at the end of May,
surpassing US$360/t in the first half of October. 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.
