SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes to increase frequency of met coke FOB China assessment

Platts seeks industry feedback on a proposal to increase the frequency of its metallurgical coke FOB China assessment (AAWVL00) to daily, from weekly. The proposed change is in response to growing Chinese coke export volumes, much of which is sold on a spot basis, and the growing relevance and importance of these prices for the global metallurgical coal and coke complex. Should the change be finalized, the met coke FOB China price will be assessed daily from October 1, 2014. Please send all questions and feedback to cokingcoal@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com by August 29, 2014. For written comments, please provide a clear indication if comments are not intended for publication by Platts for public viewing. Platts will consider all comments received and will make comments not marked confidential available upon request.
