New UserSA coal prices slightly firm, others largely unchanged
04 Oct 2013
October 4: Standard South African coal prices firmed up further on October 3 as traders quote higher prices on continued congestion at RBCT even as 5,500 Kcal/kg material softened a bit, industry sources said.
Australian and Indonesian coal prices remained largely unchanged on lack of Chinese enquiries, they added.
Meanwhile, the spot prices of coking coal also firmed up a bit on reported softness in freight rates from Australia on increased vessel availability, they said, adding, freight rates from Indonesia and South Africa to India, however, firmed up further.
Following are the indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates on October 3:
