Asia coal prices at record as supply crunch bites
SYDNEY, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Coal prices jumped to a fresh record of more than $115 a tonne at Australia's Newcastle port, a benchmark for Asia, as a global supply crunch worsened after a series of supply disruptions in key coal exporting nations. China, the world's largest producer and consumer of coal, said on Jan. 25 that it would halt exports in February and March after the nation's worse snowstorms in 50 years disrupted output and caused unprecedented power shortages across the country.
News of China's supply halt was immediately followed by severe power shortages in South Africa, forcing miners such as Anglo American Plc (AAL.L: Quote, Profile, Research) to shut their mines. Adding to a worsening a global squeeze, several Australian producers last month declared force majeure on immediate coal shipments due to recent heavy rain and floods in the key mining state of Queensland. Thermal coal prices jumped $23.09 from a week earlier to $116.44 per tonne
