EUROPEAN COAL CONTANGO: FURTHER STEEPNESS REQUIRED TO MAKE LARGE SCALE PHYSICAL TIME SPREAD ARBITRAGE MORE ATTRACTIVE - MISWIN MAHESH, BARCLAYS CAPITAL


COALspot.com - "With the contango between the Y+1 and M+1 ARA delivered contract now averaging above the $14/t level, there is an increasing interest among market participants on whether this would warrant a physical arbitrage of placing coal on storage now for deferred consumption to extract value from the curve", said Miswin Mahesh, a commodities analyst at Barclays Capital in London.

According to Miswin, the current contango however, is yet to incentivize a larger percentile of physical market players, given their limited access to cost efficient storage facilities (in contrast to utilities that have their own backyard). Infact for the wider spectrum of market players, current storage costs at the ARA ports average $15/t for a year, along with other costs associated with discharging from board onto barge, barge onto stock and re-loading from stock (that add another $7/t), while surcharges and other expenses add another marginal amount. The limited storage space available at these terminals also need to be accounted for.

"We would therefore expect opportunistic demand for the purpose of storage to be more attractive only if prices were to widen above the $ 20/t level. And given that the European coal markets are entering a seasonally lacklustre period for coal burn with ample stocks at the ARA discharging ports, while country specific instances such as the oncoming peak of the German renewable season is likely to challenge the call on coal fired generation further", he added further.

These factors are likely to keep prompt prices soft, and the contango is likely to remain steep through this quarter as well.
