Coal Watch_ A Softer Landing in China Coal Imports
China Securities· 2024-11-10 16:41
Summary of the Conference Call on China Coal Imports Industry Overview - The report focuses on the coal industry, specifically China's coal imports and production dynamics in 2024 and beyond [2][8]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **China's Coal Imports**: - China has experienced a year-over-year increase in coal imports, with thermal coal imports surprising to the upside since Q4 2023, driven by energy security policies and inventory targets [3][24]. - The forecast for China thermal coal imports has been upgraded to 400 million tons (mt) for 2024, surpassing the record-high levels of 2023 [5][24]. 2. **Inventory Dynamics**: - China's total coal inventory has more than tripled from 2021 to 2023, reaching approximately 600 mt year-to-date, with an annual average increase of 176 mt/year [8][25]. - Despite the significant inventory buildup, China's coal inventories remain low compared to consumption, with only 39 days of coal inventory at the end of 2023, compared to 78 days for natural gas in Europe [9][12]. 3. **Production Challenges**: - Stricter safety and pollution checks from November 2023 to May 2024 led to a decrease in coal production for the first time since 2018, with a significant drop of 54 mt in production during this period [4][17]. - Production has since recovered, and it is expected to continue growing into 2025, with an annual growth of approximately 100 mt in 2024 [19][24]. 4. **Price Forecasts**: - The report upgrades the forecasts for Newcastle and API2 coal prices by approximately $20 and $5 per ton, respectively, due to the increase in expected China coal imports [6][37]. - The new price forecasts are set at $140/125 per ton for Newcastle and $120/105 per ton for API2 for 2024Q4/2025A [6][37]. 5. **Global Market Impact**: - The increase in China’s coal imports has been partially offset by stronger-than-expected coal supply from Indonesia and weaker demand from developed markets (DM) [6][36]. - The report anticipates that DM coal demand weakness will continue, driven by a transition to renewable energy and lower natural gas prices, which may lead to a decline in global thermal coal imports after 2023 [36]. Additional Important Insights - **Energy Security Policies**: - China's energy security remains a top priority, influencing the push for higher coal inventory levels, although the pace of inventory buildup is expected to slow down due to already high storage levels [12][13]. - The National Coal Production Capacity Reserve initiative aims for a production capacity of 300 mt per annum by 2030, which may support a slower pace of inventory buildup [14]. - **Accident and Safety Concerns**: - There has been a concerning increase in coal mine casualties, which more than doubled from 2021 to 2023, highlighting ongoing safety issues in the coal production sector [20]. - **Future Outlook**: - The report suggests that while there are balanced risks to the upgraded forecasts, potential policy changes in China could lead to a re-acceleration of inventory buildup, maintaining high import levels [31]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call regarding the coal industry, particularly focusing on China's coal imports, production challenges, and market dynamics.
