Market Overview
A seasonally quiet session saw coal markets end an already bearish week with further losses across the board. After a slow start futures fell by $4-$5 along the curve and despite a low key recovery late morning values were still left in the red with Q1'23 API2 ending the day at c.$188.50/mt, down $16 from last Friday. Physical markets were unsurprisingly quiet and though prompt NEWC periods remain north of $400/mt the Atlantic basin continues to feel bearish as values track the paper lower. In other related commodities, gas (down another 8%) and power prices also fell while carbon and oil firmed with front month Brent adding $1.40 to sit at $82.40/bbl near the close of play. *As a reminder, the updated gC index methodologies that came into effect in Oct'22 will mean the "Listed Public Holidays" over the next week do not qualify for index inclusion. Please see the globalCOAL website for further details.*
