Thermal coal prices firm as supply tightness offsets uneven demand
January 12, 2026
Australia’s thermal coal export earnings are forecast to reach a new record of $26 billion in 2018–19, up from a record $23 billion in 2017–18, driven by strong prices. Export earnings are then forecast to decline to $20 billion in 2019–20, as the impact of lower prices more than offsets rising export volumes. Source: www.industry.gov.au/OCE
