CIF ARA SPOT MARKET EDGES LOWER
Atlantic thermal coal trading resumed at breakneck speed Tuesday following a UK holiday the previous day, with 450,000 mt of prompt European-delivered coal changing hands in a lively session.
However, despite the high traded volumes and an accompanying rally in the financial coal derivatives market, there was little movement in physical prices, with sources saying that an increasingly bearish supply outlook was suppressing spot pricing.
The CIF ARA-FOB CSX spread, or implied transportation spread, narrowed to $13.29/mt from $13.39/mt on Monday.
US East Coast thermal coal (6,500 kcal/kg NAR 1% sulfur) was assessed unchanged at $78.75/mt.
