Coal Pricing notice Steel raw materials

The rationale for MB-COA-0003 Premium hard coking coal, fob eastern Australian port, $/wmt, had erroneously omitted the following information “globalCOAL, 75,000 tonnes of HCCLV Peak Downs premium low-volatile matter hard coking coal, bid at $241 per WMT FOB Australia, laycan August 1-10”. This has been added into the rationale.

The published price is unaffected by this change.

Green steel forecast for Europe
EU’s new steel quotas won’t dent China’s direct exports to Europe, but may choke them everywhere else
China’s direct flat steel trade with the EU was already thin, at just 3-5% of total exports, or around 2 million tonnes a year, thanks to years of anti-dumping and countervailing duties. That leaves little room for the bloc’s newly tightened import quotas to inflict much additional direct damage, sources told Fastmarkets.
