Slight softness in SA, Australian steam coal prices

18 Apr 2016

A slight softness was witnessed in South African and Australian steam coal prices on April 15 that halted a sustained rally witnessed in the previous few sessions, market sources said.

 

The softness in South African coal prices was largely on account of a break in the continued firmness of the rand versus the US dollar witnessed during the past four sessions.

 

However, Australian steam coal prices softened on anticipation that contracts with Japanese utilities might be signed at a much lower price.

 

Following are indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates (Panamax vessels) on April 15:
