Australia's export prices fell by 4.5% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2025, reversing a 2.1% rise in Q1 and marking the first decline in three quarters. The main contributors to the contraction were metalliferous ores and metal scrap (-9.0%), driven by international trade uncertainty and ongoing weakness in the Chinese property sector; and coal, coke, and briquettes (-10.4%), reflecting falling thermal and metallurgical coal prices. Declines were also seen in gas, natural, and manufactured (-4.4%), due to lower petroleum gas prices amid expanding global supply, led by new US capacity. Offsetting the decreases were gold, non-monetary (+12.1%), supported by continued strong demand as a safe-haven asset and further central bank reserve building; and meat & meat preparations (+2.8%), boosted by strong US demand for Australian beef as US cattle herd numbers remain at historic lows. Through the year to Q2, export prices fell by 3.3%, following a 4.7% drop in Q1. source: Australian Bureau of Statistics

Australia Q1 Export Prices Rise for 2nd Quarter
Australia's export prices increased by 2.1% qoq in Q1 of 2025, after a 3.6% rise in Q4 of 2024 and marking the second consecutive quarter of rise. Main contributors to the growth were metalliferous ores and metal scrap (5.4%), led by a rise in iron ore prices in response to economic data from China and the announcement of further Chinese government economic stimulus measures; gold, non-monetary (12.4%), due to growing global uncertainty, resulting in ongoing strength in demand for gold as a safe haven asset and continued building of gold reserves by central banks. Offsetting the rise were coal, coke, and briquettes (-6.6%), with metallurgical coal price falls as milder winter temperatures in North Asia lowered demand for coal-generated electricity; gas, natural and manufactured (-2.5%), weighed by falls in petroleum gases prices. Through the year to Q1, export prices dropped by 4.7%, following an 8.6% fall in Q4.

Australia Q4 Export Prices Rise for First Time in a Year
Australia's export prices rose by 3.6% qoq in Q4 of 2024, shifting from a 4.3% fall in Q3 and marking the first rise since Q4 of 2023. Main contributors to the growth were metalliferous ores and metal scrap (7.0%), led by a recovery in iron ore prices early in the quarter after the announcement of economic stimulus measures; gas, natural and manufactured (5.3%), as higher demand for LNG in North Asia and Europe drove up global LNG spot prices; and gold, non-monetary (9.7%), as the price of gold hit its peak in October, due to escalating demand amid ongoing economic uncertainty. Continued purchasing of gold by central banks and global monetary easing also sustained high demand for gold. Offsetting the rise were coal, coke, and briquettes (-3.3%), with sharp metallurgical coal price falls at the beginning of the quarter due to the weak Chinese property sector curtailing steel demand. Through the year to Q4, export prices fell by 8.6%, the most in 5 quarters, after a 6.8% drop in Q3.
