Metallurgical Coal Outlook Webinar

Metallurgical coal prices have stumbled during 2015, under pressure as limp demand and ample supply kept markets globally under pressure. But supply cuts are starting to pull tonnage from the market, and China’s shaky economic outlook may yet provide room for coking coal prices to climb. Metallurgical coal may have marked its lows for this cycle, join us as we discuss the outlook for 2016 and 2017. 

In this webinar we discuss:

  • If Chinese steel demand has peaked, then what next? Structural and cyclical influences on Chinese steel demand
  • Supply outlook – Will nascent signs of aggressive Chinese supply cuts support prices?
  • Chinese exports of steel and met coke – persistent weight on raw materials demand?
  • Australian dollar decline and metallurgical coal pricing – another headwind in 2016?
  • Price outlook – further downside to come, or resetting to lower-for-longer prices?
