Market Overview
Coal markets finished the week with some further bullishness as values rose across the main indices. Futures markets saw the API#2 and gC NEWC Futures see similar moves with the prompt gaining around $1.75/t on both hubs. Further dated contracts saw more gains on API#2 with the Cal'25 up $2/t whereas gC NEWC Cal'25 rose $1.25/t. Prompt API#4 saw gains of around $2/t. Physical markets saw a quieter end to the week although Nov'24 RB1 saw a number of improving bid-offer spreads through the day as values hover around the $105/t level. Tonnes do seem available but with the physical implied freight spread opening and closing around current levels there remains bid interest. gC Phys NEWC saw a quiet end to the week with values tracking paper while DES markets tracked paper. Elsewhere, European gas regained much of yesterday's losses as it gained 5% while oil markets dipped with front month Brent losing $0.40/bbl to sit at around $74.45/bbl near close of play.

From the Asian Desk
The Phys NEWC market still saw interest in December, with best index linked bid and offer seen at -$4.50/mt vs -$0.75/mt respectively. The Indo 3800NAR market heard a bid at $50/mt vs offer of $52/mt for an October supramax. The HA 5500NAR market heard a bid at $104.50/mt CFR South China.

From the Met Desk
Physical Premium Hard Coking Coal value adjusted higher today on the back of fresh trade reported for Nov loading PMV cargo. Volume of contracts traded on the SGX experienced a higher flow too, with Oct and Nov paper trading between $184.0 and $195.0.
