SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes publishing coking coal forward curve

Platts is inviting industry feedback on a proposal to publish a daily coking coal forward curve. The proposal arises in light of growing interest and liquidity in the coking coal swaps market, and would complement Platts' suite of physical metallurgical coal assessments. Platts proposes to assess the value of swaps for contracts three months forward, three quarters forward and one calendar year forward. These values would be published in SBB Steel Markets Daily, Coal Trader International and be databased, making them available in data products. All comments and questions should be addressed by April 14 via email to cokingcoal@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
