U.S. met exports back to past as modern volume records could be set in 2011

摘要

Weather-related supply disruptions in Australia, BHP Billiton's determined effort to force monthly price negotiations and an already very tight global market for coking coal have conspired to provide a pretty promising outlook for U.S. sellers in the coming months. The end result, particularly if economic recovery continues at a decent pace, could be a fantastic year for U.S. metallurgical coal exports. In fact, it could be one of the best on record.
