November 5: Spot coal prices in international markets continued to remain soft in the absence of a revival in buying interest, market sources said.
The possibility of any major variation in prices is limited as buyers are expecting further fall in prices whereas sellers, amidst ample availability, are holding the cargo in anticipation of a resurgence in prices, they added.
Following are the indicative prices of coal in various markets and indicative freight rates on November 4:
