TSI’s daily Premium Hard Coking Coal (PHCC) benchmark price for
Australian exports had a strong month in December as PHCC prices
gained about 3.01% month-on-month (m-o-m), bringing the Q4 average
to US$77.41/tonne - down 8.24% on Q3 2015.
The index saw
gradual gains in the first week, rising from US$75.70/t to US$76.30/t.
Amid some perceived supply shortages, the market moved higher in
the second week of December, reaching US$77.20/t.
The rally extended
into the final week of December, with the FOB PHCC index closing
out the month at US$78.20/t.
TSI’s JM25 PHCC benchmark price for Chinese imports lost 0.52% mo-m
in December.
The m-o-m loss could have been more severe if it
had not been for a late-month rally as Chinese mills began to restock
material ahead of the Lunar New Year. This surge in demand led to a
late December rise in prices, with the CFR China JM25 PHCC index
closing at US$81.10/t to end the year on a positive note.
