In West Europe, quotes for imported thermal coal have risen by $13/t on average to $350-355/t CIF ARA. This week, the deal for the supply of 50,000 t of coal in Aug has been signed at $376/t DES ARA. Market participants have also reported the contract for a coal stem with shipment in Sep, but no price details have been disclosed.
In Türkiye, prices for Russian coal have stayed within $170-185/t CIF, while quotes for Colombian coal have grown by $20/t to $350-370/t CIF. Spot trade remains dead, but Türkiye is now actively using imported coal: the use has doubled at local TPPs.
Australian coal quotes have dropped to $372-390/t FOB Newcastle ($13/t down); trade is rather slack. This week, one 25,000 t lot of coal with shipment in Aug has been sold at $377.5/t FOB Newcastle.
Prices for South African coal have added $7.5/t to $325-340/t FOB Richards Bay. No signed deals have been reported over the week.
