Recent financial statements of global mining companies demonstrate that metallurgical coal remains an extremely profitable commodity.

Key Points: 
  • Recent financial statements of global mining companies demonstrate that metallurgical coal remains an extremely profitable commodity.
  • In CRU's Metallurgical Coal Cost Report 2017, we highlighted the fact that industry costs had increased strongly since the start of 2016 and cost inflation has continued in 2018.
  • Therefore, it is logical for mining companies to produce as much as possible even if this means increasing marginal costs in the short-term.
  • As a result, we estimate that global Business Costs increased by 18% y/y in 2017 as a whole.
