Indonesian government has sets its November HBA at US$ 81.44 for 6322 GAR coal. November HBA is 5.35 per lower than October price or 30.18 percent lower than a year ago.

According to available data, Indonesia, the world largest multi grade coal exporter has shipped  35,143,587* tons of coal in October 2012 which is around 19.85* percent higher compared to September exports. Most of the Indonesian coal goes to China and India in October 2013. Indonesian low GCV coal is still an attractive fuel for Indian consumers due to its cheap price as well as lower freight. Indian coal imports from Indonesia has increased significantly in 2012 and expected it will reach more than 75 million tons in 2012.

Several Indonesian small mines has suspended their operation as the current low coal prices not affordable for those high cost mines. Over supply of coal was partly blamed for current low coal prices. However Indonesian big  coal producers are still planning to increase their output by 2014 onwards. High output of coal from Indonesia and low demand from India and China, may not allow coal price recovery to a previous level within a short period.

July 2008 was the best month for the world’s coal industry. According to IMF data, Australian coal price was reached at US$ 192.86 per MT in July 2008, which is around 118.43 percent higher than October 2012 price. Indonesian HBA price also experienced a higher level in February 2011. The Indonesian government's declared HBA has reached US$ 127.05 in February 2011 which is around 56.00 percent higher than November 2012 HBA.

Is year 2013, year of supply or demand? -- Is buyer’s year or seller’s year?
