SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to discontinue some US coal price assessments

In an effort to focus on its physical thermal coal assessments, S&P Global Platts is proposing to discontinue its daily financial assessments reflecting the value of three exchange-traded US coal futures: CAPP rail (CSX), PRB 8,800 and Illinois Basin 11,800.

The assessments publish in Coal Trader as well as Global Coal Alert page 240 (Market Data category CO). The proposed discontinuation would take effect June 1, and would affect the following codes:

CAPP Rail (CSX): CFCM001, CFCM002, CFCQ001, CFCQ002, CFCQ003, CFCQ004, CFCQ005, CFCY001, CFCY002 PRB 8,800: CFPM001, CFPM002, CFPQ001, CFPQ002, CFPQ003, CFPQ004, CFPQ005, CFPY001, CFPY002 Illinois Basin 11,800: CFIM001, CFIM002, CFIQ001, CFIQ002, CFIQ003, CFIQ004, CFIQ005, CFIY001, CFIY002
