What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Offers for Kazakh thermal coal delivered to Poland rose to $291.60-$314 per ton over the past two weeks, according to Argus. This increase reflects tightening supply in the European market, which was approaching a supply deficit. Separately, Kazakh thermal coal production fell 0.3% year-on-year in September.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The price spike reflects a shortage of available coal in the European market. Broader European seaborne coal prices reached multi-year highs due to tightening global supply and improved prospects for coal-fired power generation as temperatures declined.

Kazakhstan and Poland are currently discussing deepening their strategic partnership regarding raw materials and the application of Polish industrial technologies for battery projects.
