Anthracite Coal global offers have gone up not because demand is on the rise but due to the shortage of Coke Breeze, also called Coke Fines. According to market participants, Coke Breeze is short in supply from China, leading to spot prices of Anthracite Coal also to move up as both the prices are co-related.
The latest offer for Anthracite Coal is assessed at around USD 135/MT CFR India, which is up by around USD 8/MT on a weekly basis.
