2013 coal swaps are not stable this week. It is very difficult to understand the market direction in 2013 from this week price closing. Coal prices are not stable and expected more volatile movements in coming weeks.  the firm prices directions can be seen next year mid February.

According to available data, Indonesia, the world largest multi grade coal exporter has shipped  35,143,587* tons of coal in October 2012 which is around 19.85* percent higher compared to September exports. Most of the Indonesian coal goes to China and India in October 2013. Indonesian low GCV coal is still an attractive fuel for Indian consumers due to its cheap price as well as lower freight. Indian coal imports from Indonesia has increased significantly in 2012 and expected it will reach more than 75 million tons in 2012. According to available information, Indonesia also shipped 300.488* million tons of coal (all grades included) in first 10 months. As usual 53.18* percent of total exported coal goes to china and India.

The physical prices of medium GVCV coal shows a little improvement last week.  The current price movement is definitely not favoring coal producer on long term planning. However Indonesian most of the coal producers are decided go ahead with their original plan to increase coal output in spite the current low prices. Producers are expecting the prices will take “U” turn in near future.

COALspot.com still feels that, the year 2013, will be buyer’s year, at least until second half of 2013.
