−Removed: As of October 23, 2020, met coal spot prices were $110 per metric tonne.
−Removed: Long-term demand for steel is expected to be driven by increased steel consumption per capita in developing economies, such as China and India, whose current consumption per capita is a fraction of developed countries.
−Removed: There is still a level of uncertainty for demand of iron ore and met coal.
−Removed: The impact on the demand for steel with the closure or curtailment of manufacturing in economies affected by COVID-19, which will only return to normal levels of consumption once jurisdictions lift quarantine requirements and manufacturing facilities are reopened, is also uncertain.
−Removed: However, a new round of stimulus in China and recovering steel production in other regions continues to support demand for raw materials particularly iron ore.
−Removed: We believe there is a high likelihood that many countries will use infrastructure spend as part of their economic recovery plan, which would have a positive impact on the demand for met coal and the spot price.

+Added: In 2020, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 led to a high level of uncertainty for demand of iron ore and met coal.
+Added: However, an increase in global infrastructure spending to stimulate economies is expected to support demand for raw materials, particularly met coal and iron ore.
+Added: Currently, China and Australia are in a trade dispute that has led to China implementing a trade embargo on Australian coal.
+Added: China has historically accounted for approximately 22% of Australia’s met coal exports.
+Added: The continuing uncertainty in the Chinese demand for Australian met coal has led to volatile Australian met coal spot pricing.
+Added: The Chinese trade embargo and volatile Australian met coal spot pricing have created a shuffling of global export trade flows.
+Added: If this dispute continues, it could continue to impact pricing volatility, and demand for Australian met coal and consequently lead to reduced occupancy at our Australian villages.
