Coal news and updates

International coal prices largely stable

26 Sep 2013

September 26: Thin trade in Asian markets and scant enquiries resulted in flat trend in international coal prices on September 25.

Demand for thermal coal from India remained lukewarm despite low offers from Indonesia. Prices of South African coal (6,000 NAR) were up marginally but lower grade coal prices slipped, in line with market expectations, trading sources said.

Following are the indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates on September 25:
