SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to remove specifications in Asia Pacific Met Coal Relativities

S&P Global Platts will remove the brands' specifications in the Asia Pacific Metallurgical Coal Relativities CFR China table found on page 9 of the Steel Markets Daily publication, and page 8 of Coal Trader International publication. This will help Platts respond faster to changes in typical specifications of metallurgical coal brands. The change will take place on November 1, 2018.

Platts' assumption of typical specifications will remain available to market participants upon request.

Platts will continue to publish assessments for each brand relativity, and their relative spread to Platts Premium Low Vol and HCC 64 Mid Vol assessments.
