S&P Global Platts has decided to discontinue its relativities assessments for Canadian coking coal brands Standard and Premium on a CFR China basis, effective February 1, 2020.

The discontinuation reflects a diminishing spot liquidity observed for both coal brands.

The change would affect the prices published on Page 10 of Steel Markets Daily publication, page 8 of Coal Trader International, Platts Market Center, Platts Metals Alert pages MW1064 and MW1066 and in the Platts price database under the following codes:
