10 Feb 2014
February 10: Lower grade Indonesian coal prices firmed up slightly in the spot markets on February 7 on the back of increased Indian enquiries, industry source said.
South African prices eased slightly on improvement in power situation at the RBCT whereas Australian prices continued to remain soft in the absence of major Chinese enquiries, they added.
Chinese interest has not yet picked up after their New Year holidays, they said.
Following are the indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates on January 7:
