Weekly Index Rollout

The SCRs are the “mid of market mids” from a weekly industry survey open to all. Every market participant has a voice — no membership fee, no subscription fee.

SCR is not based on unverifiable “supposed trades,” not on a journalist’s guess, not on a private pricing club number, and not on an unregulated trading screen where tiny trades can be conjured up or quietly reversed.

While we launched SCR Newsletter in Summer 2024 with its FOB Indo benchmarking, our group has been benchmarking all international coal markets (ARA, Colombia, Richards Bay, Newcastle and more) for private clients since January 2017.

SCR coal price data is the only coal dataset untainted by producer-owned Globalcoal inputs, or 35 member private pricing clubs where 14 plus 7 dictate value to the 200 others who trade the market, and of course energy publications who are only in benchmarking to sell subscriptions and conferences.  SCR is funded by advertising and data sales so won’t hassle you for money, or lurk around at conferences like an uninvited guest at a wedding. We have no “special friends” or anything to hide, and that’s why our price discovery is the largest in the market, use of our data in litigation is expressly permitted, and SCR benchmarks are the only indices in Asia Pacific on which OTC derivatives are priced.
