Met suppliers brace for ’20 wheeling and dealing

摘要

Metallurgical coal producers are playing a bit of a game of Texas Hold ‘Em with the domestic steelmakers. We’ve had the flop and maybe even made the turn, but the river hasn’t been turned over yet. And if you don’t know poker terms, that’s OK. This is a pretty imperfect analogy. The worry that some producers have is the buyers on the domestic settlements don’t even need to see what that last card is going to be. They already think (know) they’re holding the winning hand.
