James Rickards, Yancoal Australia’s general manager of investor relations, does not expect coal prices to be significantly affected by China’s move to reduce thermal coal imports. He argues that it had been widely anticipated, as the Chinese government tends to curb coal imports every year in order to support local producers. Meanwhile, Lachlan Shaw of UBS says Chinese demand for thermal coal is likely to remain strong during the upcoming northern winter.
