US coal export growth to continue in early 2018

摘要

International coal markets are poised to expand next year and continue to provide an outlet for US coal through at least early 2018, industry executives said. US coal exports have outperformed expectations so far this year thanks to improved economies throughout the world and supply disruptions that have raised prices high enough to put shipments from nearly every basin in the money, Jack Porco, chief commercial officer of Xcoal, said yesterday at the American Coal Council Coal Trading Conference in New York. That should continue for the next few months at least.
