SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts proposes publishing US OTC coal front-month, quarter averages

Platts is proposing to publish a daily average of the front-month and front-quarter prices for each of the five over-the-counter coal products it currently assesses in the OTC Broker Index table in Platts Coal Trader.

The front-month and front-quarter averages will show the direction of the underlying prices through the course of the referenced period, providing market participants with more visibility as to the direction of the final monthly settle for both prices.

Please address any questions or comments by January 31 to coal@platts.com and pricegroup@platts.com.
