Coal Nears Breakout As Gulf Energy Shock Drives Utilities Back To Dirty Fuel Ahead Of Winter
Newcastle thermal coal futures are approaching the $150-a-ton breakout level as the global energy shock, most acute in industrial fuels, encourages utilities to shift toward coal ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter while electrification trends and all things AI expand electricity demand.
UBS metals and mining analyst Myles Allsop wrote in a note this week that thermal coal prices face a number of factors colliding at once that could push prices higher over the next few months:
We see a number of risks that could drive up thermal coal prices over next few months, with 1) demand supported by a hot summer (increasing demand for cooling), the high gas price (due to the ME conflict) and potentially a cold winter in the Northern Hemisphere due to the 'super El Niño' (conditions to peak in Dec), and 2) supply at risk from Chinese safety checks, Indonesian government policy, Russian diesel shortag...
