On March 17, Indonesian low-calorie thermal coal prices continued to remain stable, with the mainstream FOB price for Indonesian Q3800 large ships still at $60-62 per ton. Today's market trading remains quiet, with no significant demand release, and downstream purchasing interest is weak, making it difficult to break the deadlock. Currently, market confidence is dampened, and the wait-and-see sentiment persists. It is expected that imported thermal coal prices will remain stable in the short term. Ongoing attention should be paid to terminal procurement plans and the latest foreign mine quotes. (My Steel Network)

March 17 Indonesian low-calorie thermal coal prices continued to hold steady, with Indonesia’s Q3800 large-vessel FOB benchmark still ranging at $60–$62 per ton. Today, trading in the market remains sluggish, with no obvious release in demand. Downstream buyers’ willingness to purchase remains weak, and the stalemate is hard to break. At this stage, market sentiment and confidence have been hit, and the wait-and-see mood does not ease. It is expected that, in the short term, imported thermal coal prices will continue to run steady. Going forward, it will be necessary to keep a close watch on factors such as end-user procurement plans and the latest quotes from overseas mines. (My Steel Net)
