SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch new 66/65% CSR met coke FOB China assessment

Platts will in late April launch a new daily metallurgical coke assessment for higher-quality material with 66/65% coke strength after reaction (CSR), on a FOB China basis.

The new series will complement Platts' existing daily 62% CSR Met Coke FOB China assessment.

The launch comes in response to market demand for such an assessment, amid growing prevalence of higher-CSR coke in the seaborne market.

Platts will publish the new assessment' methodology in full on platts.com upon launch.

The assessment will be published in SBB Steel Markets Daily, Coal Trader International, Metals Market Data category MC, Platts Metals Alert and Global Coal Alert.
