Coal Prices Likely to Snap Back When Iran Conflict Ends -- Market Talk

Dow Jones07:29

2329 GMT - Coal prices have jumped on the Iran conflict as natural-gas users switch fuels due to a drop in supply. But will coal stay strong when hostilities end? Morgans notes the benchmark price of thermal coal exported from the Australian port of Newcastle was US$118/ton before Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran. It has since risen to US$138/ton. "During the prior 12-day war in June 2025, crude prices recovered to pre-conflict levels as soon as hostilities ended," analyst Chris Creech says. "A similar snap-back in coal is expected if Hormuz reopens in the short-term and Qatar restores LNG production." Morgans assumes a coal price of US$115/ton through 2H of FY 2026. Its long-term assumption is US$120/ton from FY 2027. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
