Australian coal producer New Hope Corporation reported run-of-mine coal production of 4.74 Mt for the quarter ended 31 July 2026, up 11.3% from the previous quarter. Saleable coal production increased 1.6% to 3.055 Mt, while coal sales declined 5.4% to 3.023 Mt. The group’s average realised sales price rose 10.7% to A$155.8/t, mainly reflecting increases in the gC NEWC 6000 and API-5 5500 thermal coal indices.

For FY2026, saleable coal production increased 7.6% year on year to 11.518 Mt, while coal sales rose 11.8% to 11.789 Mt, with both slightly exceeding the upper end of the company’s guidance. Production recovered at Bengalla Mine, while planned wash-plant maintenance, noise-related operating constraints and rail industrial action reduced New Acland’s quarterly saleable production and sales by 13.2% and 6.7%, respectively.

[SMM Analysis] The supply-demand imbalance of construction steel improved marginally this period

According to SMM statistics, total construction steel inventory this period was 8.3259 million mt, down 217,100 mt MoM (-2.54% MoM), shifting from increase to decline. Both mill inventory and social inventory destocked to varying degrees. Social inventory destocking accelerated notably as arrivals dropped. With the dock closure now lifted, subsequent concentrated arrivals of construction steel may lead to social inventory accumulation.

[SMM Analysis] Twin Barriers Force a Trade Reset: A Full Anatomy of the Scramble for the EU's 18.35 Mt Steel Quota

The EU's temporary steel safeguard expired at end-June 2026 and a permanent TRQ took its place — duty-free volume nearly halved to about 18.35 Mt, the out-of-quota duty doubled to 50%, and a first-ever "melt and pour" origin rule. Using the official allocations, this piece breaks the quota down category by category and country by country: HRC alone claims about 5.2 million tonnes, Türkiye takes the largest share, Taiwan, China is squeezed hardest — and CBAM stacks a second barrier on top.

【Kazakhstan Builds 4.1 Mt of Coal Stocks at Thermal Power Plants Ahead of Heating Season】

Kazakhstan’s Transport Ministry said thermal power plants had received 17.8 Mt of coal since 1 May 2026, while 1.2 Mt had been supplied to the communal sector. Current stocks stand at 4.1 Mt at thermal power plants and 0.3 Mt in the communal sector. Kazakhstan is preparing a comprehensive action plan to ensure stable coal deliveries during the heating season, with a focus on uninterrupted supply to energy and communal facilities and efficient railway use during peak demand. Kaztemirtrans operates 29,000 open wagons, which the Ministry considers sufficient for coal deliveries to power plants, households and industry. The Energy Ministry has also launched a unified digital system to track coal from extraction through transportation, delivery and sale.
