Genesis Energy has confirmed they plan to resume buying coal amid reduced gas supplies and increased consumer demand.

The company claims it needs to invest in a solid stockpile to ensure customers can access what they need for the time being.

CEO Malcolm Johns warns the company will dip below the 350,000 tonne threshold by spring.

"We're going to have to buy coal to top that stockpile up for next winter, and probably the winter after that as well."

45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been sentenced to four to 10 years in prison.

They were prosecuted under its 2020 national security law for their roles in an unofficial primary election, which prosecutors said their aim was to paralyse the city’s government and force its leader to resign by aiming to win a legislative majority and using it to block government budget.

Meanwhile, Chinese Premier Xi Jinping has been travelling South America talking up free trade and globalisation in the region.

Asia business correspondent Peter Lewis joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
