The torrential rain and floods in Australia have disrupted coal mining and are likely to lead to higher coal and steel prices. About 98 million tons of annual steel making coal capacity, equal to 73% of coal exported from Queensland is affected according to analysts at Macquarie Capital. This is 37% of the annual, global seaborne supply of coal for steelmakers. Prices for steelmaking coal have gone up by 10% on the spot market to about $250 a metric ton, according to analysts.
