Coal Falls to Over 7-Week Low

Coal prices slipped below $130 per ton, easing from the 17-month high of $146.5 reached on March 20 to the lowest level in over seven weeks, as renewed hopes for US-Iran talks raised expectations that energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz could resume. Traders continue to monitor diplomatic signals closely, with the key shipping route still largely shut but seen as critical to restoring supply. The potential easing of gas disruptions could reduce the need for gas-to-coal switching in power generation. Still, the prolonged Middle East conflict continues to embed a risk premium across energy markets, having driven utilities in Asia and Europe to rely more heavily on coal. Despite the recent pullback, coal prices remain up nearly 9% since the war began in early March.
