FX.co ★ Australia Export Prices Drop 4.5% in Q2

In the second quarter of 2025, Australia's export prices decreased by 4.5% compared to the previous quarter, effectively turning around a 2.1% increase seen in the first quarter. This marks the first decline in three quarters. Key factors contributing to this downturn were a 9.0% decrease in metalliferous ores and metal scrap, prompted by global trade uncertainties and continued challenges in China's property market. Additionally, there was a 10.4% reduction in coal, coke, and briquettes, aligning with the dropping prices of thermal and metallurgical coal.
