Metal Bulletin’s assessment of prices for Chinese domestic hard coking coal in Shanxi’s spot market, delivered to Tangshan, was 1,250-1,550 yuan ($183-227) on Friday May 26. This compares with 1,450-1,610 yuan ($210-233) per tonne on April 28. The first drop came during the week ended May 5, when the price for lower-grade, higher sulphur coking coal dropped to 1,400 yuan ($205) per tonne from 1,450 yuan ($212) per tonne, amid softening coke prices in China and a stagnant seaborne coking coal market. By the final week of May, prices for S1.3 Shanxi coking coal delivered to Tangshan mills had fallen to 1,250-1,280 yuan ($183-187) per tonne. Shanxi’s top-quality premium hard coking coal brand, Liulin No4, which has an ash content of 9.5% and sulphur content of 0.6%, even saw its ex-mine price fall to 1,300 yuan ($189.60) per tonne on Saturday May 27, compared with 1,340 yuan ($195)...
