Russian miners start hiking coking coal price - 05 Oct 09

It is reported that Russian coking coal producers are starting to raise the prices of their products as of October this year representing their first price increases since the start of the global economic crisis.

The increase is seen as an indication that the difficult times for Russian coal miners are approaching their end and that the coal sector which was the first to feel the consequences of the financial crisis is registering a progressive reanimation.

The Russian coal mining company Belon Group is the first domestic company to announce an increase in its coking coal price, up almost 62% compared to the price level of the H1 of the year. Accordingly, during the current week Belon has completed the signing of coking coal supply contracts for the next four months at a price level of RUB 3,000 per tonnes to RUB 3,100 per tonnes FCA Kuzbass. Meanwhile in October, the other Russian mining companies will also increase their prices of coking coal by approximately 50% to 60%.
