Atlantic HCC prices steady, supply concerns build

摘要

London—Atlantic met coal prices were steady Aug. 6, with the outlook for market supply becoming less assured at low prices. A US miner reported tighter availability in high-vol A, with contract demand holding up. US miners have said they see increasing demand later in the year from Atlantic buyers. This may support offers and future sales realizations, and may rise above prices for Australian premium HCC, which have been weak this week on low demand for prompt cargo.
