Argus Coal Daily
Overview
The Argus Coal Daily service is your single, reliable source of daily coal market intelligence for the Americas.
This service provides transparent coal market intelligence, pricing and analysis for the Americas coal markets. We offer the unique distinction of assessing prices for physical and over-the-counter (OTC) coal in traditional spot markets.
The two assessments reflect the distinctions in the underlying coal market — generic OTC prices can be a poor choice for physical indexation needs. We allow industry participants to gain an accurate view of specific trading and delivery requirements in the dry bulk fuels markets, with daily assessments of standardised trading products and weekly assessments of less-liquid spot physical transactions.
