The contract price for semi-soft coking has been settled at $US171 per tonne for the March 2017 quarter, which is 32 per cent higher than the current contract price. Meanwhile, buyers will pay $US180 per tonne for pulverised coal injection (PCI), which is an increase of 35 per cent. Despite the large rise in contract prices, both commodities are still fetching a significant discount compared with the price of hard coking coal.
