Higher enquiries lift SA, Indonesian coal prices

20 Nov 2013

November 20: Spot prices steam coals of almost all origin, except Australian, advanced further on November 19 on a higher number of enquiries, particularly from India, industry sources said.

Continued firmness in the domestic prices of Chinese material and a mild nudge-up in enquiries from Indian cement makers appear to be leading to the firmness in prices, they added.

Following are the indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates on November 19:
