Pacific premium low-vol coking coal steady, PCI price up

摘要

Singapore - The seaborne metallurgical coal market remained muted Thursday with no significant buying inter- est exhibited by primary Asian buyers China and India. Platts assessed premium low-vol and hard coking coal 64 mid vol flat at $140.50/dmt FOB Australia and $124.50/mt FOB respectively. "There is definitely no need, and no rush for imports," a Chinese trader said, referring to Australian premium low-vol HCCs. "Stockyards are full for major mills - there is no urge for them to improve their supply levels." Sellers suggested there were also ample tons on the sup- ply side.
