2008 thermal coal price likely to reach record levels

Reuters reported that Japanese utilities have begun talks with some Australian producers for 2008 thermal coal contracts that could be sealed at a record high above USD 90 amid tight global supplies. Miners and analysts have said that coal supplies are set to tighten significantly this year on continued supply constraints in Australia and Indonesia as well as growing Asian demand, particularly in China and India.
As per report, marketing teams from Xstrata Plc and Rio Tinto Limited are in Tokyo this week, hoping to negotiate a near 80% jump in contract prices at about USD 100 a tonne, but Japanese buyers are seeking between USD 15 to USD 20 below that.
Mr Malcolm Southwood a resource analyst at Goldman Sachs in Melbourne said that "Our forecast is for prices to be settled at USD 90 but recent developments would suggest that there are some upside risks to the price. The emergence of China and India as major importers has been a critical factor in tipping the market balance. And when you add supply constraints in Australia and South Africa into the equation, you get a very tight market."
The report cited an executive of Rio Tinto as saying that “Its initial offer to Japanese utilities would be in the range of USD 90 to USD 100. The market is a lot tighter this year. But some Japanese utilities are still hoping to get something at USD 80 or even USD 90 levels, which I think is quite impossible. This could be a long drawn out negotiation."
Industry sources said that Xstrata and Rio have yet to put in firm offers, as prices on the index, commonly used as a benchmark for coal prices in Asia, were still hovering in the USD 90. This signals that they may be targeting higher levels on forecasts of even tighter supplies and rising demand from Japan and China, which are grappling with power shortages due to high prices of other fuels as well as outages.
Other Japanese buyers said that it was unreasonable for prices to jump this high when South Korean utilities managed to ink their 2008 coal contracts at about USD 60 a tonne. Some Japanese utilities have also agreed with Indonesia's Bumi Resources to buy 2008 coal supplies at about USD 85 a tonne in November.

In the 2006 fiscal year, Japan imported 179 million tonnes of coal, of which about 60% came from Australia, 20% from Indonesia and 12% from China.

Today the city of Kolpino near Saint Petersburg became the site of a ground breaking ceremony for the construction of a plant which will produce stamped parts for the automotive sector, and a steel service centre.

The ceremony was attended by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, Saint Petersburg’s Governor Valentina Matvienko, and the Chairman of the OJSC MMK Board of Directors Victor Rashnikov. Speaking at the ceremony Mr.Rashnikov said that the new facility to be located within the site of the Izhorsky Plants in Kolpino will comprise an integrated complex for production of auto body components and sub-assemblies to the highest international standards. “The growing market, and the consumers’ requirements for high quality steel sheet and stamped products lend us confidence in the successful implementation of the project and its promising future”, Mr. Rashnikov added. MMK’s top executive thanked President Putin who had approved the company’s plans to become a supplier for auto makers, and expressed his gratitude to Saint Petersburg’s Governor Valentina Matvienko for her strong interest in the project.

The ground breaking ceremony also featured a presentation which explained to the participants that the goal of the project is to set up production of stamped and welded auto body components and white goods’ parts from sheet steel through processing 150 ktpy of rolled steel at the stamping plant and 200 ktpy at the steel service centre.

The project crowns OJSC MMK’s consistent effort towards setting up a production route capable of producing high quality auto body components in Russia which will comply with the requirements of the leading international auto making companies.

Thus, in July of 2007 MMK signed a contract for the construction and delivery of a 2,000 mm cold rolling mill (MMK’s Rolling Shop #11) which will produce high quality sheet, with the German equipment manufacturer SMS Demag. The new shop will turn out over 2 mtpy of high quality cold rolled and galvanized products using state-of-the-art technology, intended for exterior and interior car parts, the white goods and construction industries.

In August of 2007 MMK purchased a 75% stake in ZAO Intercos-IV, a Saint Petersburg company, specializing in the development and production of large-size stamps and dies (up to 70 tonnes) and stampings for the automotive and white goods sectors.

In early September of 2007 Saint Petersburg’s Governor Valentina Matvienko and Mr.Rashnikov signed an Investment Agreement according to which OJSC MK is to build a stamping plant and steel service centre in Saint Petersburg by 2010, with the proposed investments amounting to RUB 3 billion.

Products from the new plant will be supplied to the existing and projected auto making factories, such as FORD, TOYOTA, General Motors Company, NISSAN and others, and white goods manufacturers operating in Russia and abroad, such as BOSCH-SIEMENS, ELECROLUX, etc. Products from the steel service centre will go to the construction sector, mechanical engineering, ship building and other consumers in Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. Direct supplies of rolled steel from the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works and their subsequent processing at the projected facilities will allow to meet the requirements of steel consuming industries in the best possible way.
