"The new CCI Met assessment will bring greater transparency and insights into the domestic coking coal market."

Fenwei is said to have a reach in the domestic market, while Platts has price assessment expertise in the metallurgical coal field.

According to Platts, the latest price assessments reflect the transactable value of metallurgical coal that is expressed in Chinese Yuan, per metric tonne.

Metallurgical coal and steel raw materials in Asia senior managing editor Julien Hall said: "Based on Platts’ robust price assessment methodologies, the new CCI Met assessment will bring greater transparency and insights into the domestic coking coal market.

"Chinese metallurgical coal buyers and sellers who actively engage in our price discovery process can help create useful new references in a historically complex and opaque market."
