Australian coking coal prices drop by $4/t d-o-d amid low buying interest

Australian coking coal prices fell by $4/t d-o-d to $289/t on 14 Mar’24 due to low buying interest. Sluggish downstream demand in steel production contributed to the weakened market sentiment, with Indian steelmakers adopting a cautious stance until the general elections and the financial year-end, along with diminished demand in spot markets from India and China, have led to an oversupply situation.
