China’s End to Australian Coal Ban Symbolic, Analysts Say

China recently announced its decision to lift its ban on coal imports from Australia, after imposing an unofficial ban on coal trade mid-2020. This will allow its top steel maker and a trio of government-backed utilities to begin importing coal. Before the ban, Australia was the second-largest supplier of coal to the East Asian nation. The ban’s lifting will improve ties between Australia and China, which were strained following Canberra’s request for an investigation into COVID-19’s origins.

Early projections released toward the end of last year showed that the gold market had plenty of room for growth in 2023, especially if the federal reserve chose to stabilize benchmark interest rates or even reduce them.…
