Pitt seam, NS market, quality coals all show some sparkle

摘要

I asked a guy I think is probably as market neutral as anyone to assess the current state of the state. "(Pittsburgh seam coal) is still a lot tight," the source said. "(Norfolk Southern origin coal is) a lot tight." Prices in both of those sectors are "very firm." On the CSX side, "a little producer discipline" seems to have developed. But nobody has claimed that it's hard to find CSX coal. Regardless of rail source, nascent strength is developing most quickly where higher quality coal is concerned.
