The situation on the domestic steam coal market is illustrated by two indices, based on monthly ex-post data and expressing the selling price of hard coal, in a quality adapted to the needs of customers.

The value expressed in the indices is the net price of coal 'on the wagon' at the point of loading - excluding excise tax, insurance costs and delivery costs.
