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

The change follows a period of market feedback, and comes 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. Any queries, comments and questions should be to addressed to cokingcoal@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
