European coal prices hit multi-year highs on Monday amid a tight supply outlook and strong demand in Asia.
The front-month API2 coal contract closed at USD 105.95/tonne to start the week, with the rally pinned on tight supply – amid production issues in China, Indonesia and Colombia – and strong demand in the premium priced Asian market, which is drawing supply away from Europe.
The rally was mirrored by European gas markers TTF and NBP, which both rallied by nearly 3% amid expectations of stronger demand due to lower wind power generation and on low gas storage levels.
The rally helped lift the Asian LNG marker JKM, which closed 0.7% higher at USD 10.68/MMBtu.
Oil prices slipped by 0.6% amid profit taking and Chinese data showing that the country’s oil imports dipped to a year’s low last month.
The European carbon price remained unchanged due to a technical issues which saw trading suspended on the ICE Endex exchange.
