Coal excavator

COALspot.com: Indonesian coal benchmark price rose 6.36% in August, government data showed.

The benchmark price of Indonesian thermal coal increased US$ 5.02 per ton month on month to $ 83.97 per ton for August 2017 delivery.

The Director General of Mineral and Coal of Indonesia, the coal regulator of Indonesia n coal who has an authority to declare the monthly benchmark price for Indonesian thermal coal, had declared August 2017 HBA at US$ 83.97 per ton for 6322 GAR power plant coal. DGoMC has increased the monthly Indonesian thermal coal price reference for August delivery by 6.36% a ton compared to last month declared HBA.

In the meantime, the August 2017 HBA was 43.86% higher the comparable period in 2016.

 

HBA Jan - August 2017

 

The Indonesian coal price reference of August 2017 increased US$ 5.02 a ton compared to July 2017. An increase or decrease in four international coal indices such as ICI-1, Platts-5900, NEX and GC will cause an increase or decrease in Indonesian coal price reference every month, as HBA is linked to those international coal indices.

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

According to the data from Director General shows that the government has fixed US$ 20.75 a ton (up 43.89% Y/Y and 6.36% M/M) for the coal with calorific value 2,995 kcal/kg on GAR with total moisture 50.10% on as received basis for August 2017 FOB vessel delivery. In the meantime, the government is also declared US$ 59.50 per ton as HPB for 5000 GAR coal with total moisture 22.40%, Ash 8.90% and Sulphur 0.54% for August 2017 deliveries.

The declared Indonesia thermal coal reference price (or called HBA) for February 2016 was the lowest in 104 months or since launching of HBA by the government of Indonesia. The royalties and taxes will be calculated based on this declared HPB. Interestingly, the highest monthly average price occurred in February 2011, while the lowest coal price also occurred in February 2016.

Indonesian coal benchmark price for August 2017 was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using a formula based on the July 2017 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index) 25%, Platts-5900 25%, NEX (Newcastle Export Index) 25%, and GC (globalCoal Index) 25% and its 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 apply to spot contract, delivery between 1 – 31 August 2017.

The highest benchmark price was declared by the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia in February 2011, and this month’s declared price is around US$ 43.08 a ton or 33.91 per cent lower compared to Feb’ 11 benchmark price. In the meantime, this month’s declared price was around US$ 33.05 a ton or 64.91 per cent higher compared to Feb’ 16 benchmark price, which was the lowest price ever declared by DGoMC.

The government of Indonesia was publishing a monthly coal price reference (HBA & HPB) since February 2009 to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts.

However, the official implementation of HBA was commenced since September 2011 and according to government regulation, the coal benchmark price must be used by the holders of production operation IUPs, special production operation IUP's, and CCoWs as a reference in determining the coal selling price for a particular period.

HBA of February 2011 was the highest since the launching of HBA by the government of Indonesia (US$ 127.05 / MT for 6322 GAR coal) and the lowest was declared in February 2016 (US$ 50.92 / MT).

The declared HBA in this month is valid for the spot price (loading on or before 31 August 2017), while as for term price (up to 12 months supply), the average reference price (HPB) of the previous three months will be used to determine the selling price. (50% of the latest available month's HPB (this month) 30% one-month prior HPB and 20% of two-month prior HPB).

The government is also declaring the price marker for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands act as the benchmark and used to calculate other 69 coal types with a quality similar to the coal price markers.
