DIRECTOR GENERAL OF MINERAL AND COAL OF INDONESIA REVISED UP COAL PRICE REFERENCE TO US$ 76.89


COALspot. com - The Indonesian government has revised up its owned coal bench mark price by US$ 0.19/ MT to US$ 76.89 for September 2013 deliveries on 6th September 2013.

The monthly coal price reference for coal sales in September 2013 gained 0.25 per cent compared to last month. The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price for September 2013 at US$ 76.89 per ton, US$ 0.19 higher than August 2013 bench mark Price.

This coal benchmark price was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the August 2013 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index) 25%, Platts-5900 25%, NEX (Newcastle Export Index) 25%, and GC (globalCoal Index) 25%.

Coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV (GAR) 6,322 kcal/kg, Total Moisture (arb) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (arb), Ash Content 15 % (arb) and  delivery free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis and applicable for spot contract, delivery between 1 -30 September 2013.

The government of Indonesia has been publishing a monthly coal price reference (HBA & HPB) since January 2009 to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts. However, the full official implementation of HBA has commenced since September 2011.

The September 2013 HBA is 10.81 per cent or $ 9.32 lower year on year.

February 2011 declared HBA was the highest since the launching of HBA by government of Indonesia (US$ 127.05 / MT) but lowest was declared in May 2009 (US$ 62.83/ MT).

The price was only valid for the spot price (loading on or before 30 September 2013), while as for term price (up to 12 months supplies), the average reference price (HPB) of the previous three months will be used to determine the selling price. (50% of the latest available month HPB,30% of one month prior HPB and 20% of two-month prior HPB).

Government also declared price marker for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands are acted as the benchmark and used to calculate other 63 coal types with a quality similar to the coal price markers.

For sales in the barge, the reference price is reduced by barging and trans-shipment costs from barge to vessel. Government has recently issued a regulation (644.K/30/DJB/2013 dated 21 March 2013) to regulate or determine coal prices on FOB barge.  Government also fixed the freight for barging, surveyor, insurance and etc.. to determine FOB barge price. Trans-shipment cost US$ 4.00/MT + Surveyor cost US$ 0.25/MT + Insurance 0.80% per shipment + Barging cost (for < 270 footer - (US$ 0.0221 X barging distance) + US$ 3.7406, for 270 - 330 footer - (US$ 0.0184 X barging distance) + US$ 3.1172 and > 330 footer - (US$ 0.0154 X barging distance) + US$ 2.6002.

The coal price reference is been established to fulfill the requirement of mining law 04/2009 and ministerial decree No.17/2010. In addition to that, it is aims to increase government revenue from royalties from coal producers.

This week’s our “Indonesian coal price trend” is showing a weak direction compared to last week's trend. Indonesian coal prices are still struggling to catch-up the right direction. Coal market was falling since mid of last year and not showing any immediate significant or meaningful recovery. Excess coal supplies, instable coal demand, economy slowdowns, weakening of Indian Rupee are some of the reasons behind the pressure on coal prices in recent weeks.

According to Fitch Ratings, the Asia-Pacific thermal coal market will remain oversupplied in the next 12 months because strong production has been slow to adjust to weaker demand. If the oversupply condition continues it will take quite long time to reach a price comfortable to coal miners specially  for small scale coal miners.

According to media reports, Indian buyers have reduced coal imports, as the rupee’s slide against the dollar has driven up the cost of imported coal. Top coal-exporting nations such as Indonesia suffer from a fall in demand in India -- one its key export markets, due to slow demand from India.
