Though MT was pay for service....
Indeed RedbullRJ the fire issue/news which caused Tga sp to drop quite a lot, was never a factor.....Talking about market panic.
Today though is the most laughable reaction, we know for days now that China is doing what they can to curb frankly unbelievable very high coal price, even before this would happen I did post my concern of such high prices. Is inevitable that after news of China intervention on coal prices, prices will drop even if nothing has changed for the market.
I am sure that there will be some changes though and I am not suggesting the contrary but, few things need explained.
First Chine coal prices have noting to do with Tga coal price. Second that coal price was due a correction was inevitable and is welcome for medium term profitability of coal producers. Third on China subsidy of coal price, this is a very bullish new in that is an admission that China is not able to do much in increasing supply to reduce prices.
Remember that coal is not needed only by China, Indonesia and India have stopped exporting the staff because they are short in reserves, even Europe restart to burn coal with gas prices at this levels, by the way today on the rise again...
