December doldrums linger in OTC coal market

摘要

December doldrums lingered in the over-the-counter coal futures market Thursday, when NYMEX look-alike coal traded in that time slot in a 10-barge deal done at 84 dollars/short ton, while the January 2009-delivered look-alike product cooled down to 70 dollars/st, or 1.40 dollars/st less than late- Wednesday assessments. Also in the look-alike market Thursday, the Q3 2009 over Q2 2009 spread traded at 1 dollars.
