Barclays Capital said that potential disruptions to Colombian and Australian supply could offer some support to coal prices in the final quarter of the year.
Analyst Miswin Mahesh in a note said that “Colombian supplies could be at risk, given that seasonally it is going through the wettest months of the year and there are expectations of a stronger-than-normal rainy season affecting both mining throughput and transportation infrastructure.”
He said that “Australian supplies are also at risk from the La Nina weather phenomenon repeating itself noting, A combination of these two supply-side risks, combined with a healthier than expected winter appetite for coal in both of the basins, could provide a surprise boost to prices in this final quarter of the year. But this will only come if stocks at both the consumer as well as producer end reach critical levels.”
