SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch daily met coal relativity assessment series

After period of industry consultation and feedback, Platts has decided to publish brand relativity assessments for metallurgical coal on a daily basis from December 14, 2015.

The assessments are designed to reflect the daily tradeable values of up to 17 metallurgical coal brands in the spot market. This is an extension to the existing monthly brand relativity table assessments, which have a data series dating back to May 2013.

The assessments will be assessed on a US dollar/mt CFR China basis. The assessments will appear in Platts Metal Alert and Steel Markets Daily.
