August 25, 2023
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will rename its CFR India metallurgical coal net forward prices, effective Oct. 2.
The change will better describe the net forward nature of the assessments, which are calculated on a freight forward basis from corresponding benchmark FOB Australia daily metallurgical coal spot assessments. Freight pricing used for this calculation is based on the daily Platts Met Coal Dry Bulk Freight Australia-India $/MT assessment (CDBFAI0).
Platts first proposed the renaming on Aug. 7. The proposal note can be found at: https://shorturl.at/kxyRU
The renaming will affect the following prices:
Daily Assessment Symbol | Associated Monthly and Weekly Symbols | Current Symbol Name | New Symbol Name |
HCCGI00 | HCCGI03 | HCC Peak Downs CFR India | HCC Peak Downs CFR India Net Forward |
PLVHI00 | PLVHI03 | Premium Low Vol HCC CFR India | Premium Low Vol HCC CFR India Net Forward |
HCCIN00 | HCCIN03, HCCIN04 | Low Vol HCC CFR India | Low Vol HCC CFR India Net Forward |
MCLVI00 | MCLVI03 | Low Vol PCI CFR India | Low Vol PCI CFR India Net Forward |
MCVAI00 | MCVAI03 | Mid Vol PCI CFR India | Mid Vol PCI CFR India Net Forward |
MCSSI00 | MCSSI03 | Semi Soft CFR India | Semi Soft CFR India Net Forward |
All other assessment specifications will remain unchanged.
Platts Metallurgical Coal assessments are published in SBB Steel Markets Daily, Coal Trader International, Platts Market Data, Platts Dimensions Pro and on page 205 of Platts Steel Alert (STL).
