Suppliers suffer as third quarter 2006 numbers plunge again in futures market

摘要

In the near term, anyhow, the futures market punished suppliers again this past week as third quarter 2006 numbers lost another 1.15 dollars, making a plunge to 45.00 dollars seem wholly plausible, perhaps even likely. Overall, though, traders on the Central Appalachian Coal contract at the New York Mercantile Exchange generally stayed near the parameters set the week before, as folks wait to see whether the sky falls when natural gas reaches full storage some time in the next few weeks.
