The price for premium high-quality coking coal (FOB Australia) was assessed at $252.80 per tonne in early March. Although up 13.1% from the start of the year due to earlier weather disruptions in Queensland, the price rally has cooled as Australian supply logistics and rail shipments to ports have normalized.
