- Wednesday, December 19, 2012, 12:25 PM Reports that China will lift its 40% export tariff on coke coal and semi-coke coal beginning Jan. 1 has U.S. coke exporters on edge, since China has significant excess capacity, according to Nomura. China's coke exports could compound current market dynamics struggling with oversupply and the lowest prices since 2009. the firm foresees. 9 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 3:27 PM Coal stocks are outperforming following comments from the International Energy Agency, which said it expects coal to eclipse oil as world's top energy source around 2017. Among stocks posting solid gains: ANR +4.4%, ACI +3.2%, BTU +2.7%, CNX +1.8%, WLT +0.7%. 3 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 5:25 AM U.S. coal consumption will drop 14% from 2011-2017, the International Energy Agency forecasts, due to the shale gas revolution prompting power companies to abandon coal. Overseas, the picture is totally different, with coal demand booming in China, India and other emerging markets. The problem for U.S. producers is that international prices are low. The IEA predicts restructuring for the sector and possible job losses. 17 Comments [Commodities]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 12:22 PM Peabody Energy's (BTU -2.1%) price target is lowered to $32 by Citigroup, which lowers its FY 2013 EPS estimate well below consensus after BTU provided a preliminary Q1 and full-year 2013 outlook that came in lighter than expected. Other coal names also slide: WLT -1.7%, ACI -1.4%, CLD -0.9%, ANR -0.5%, CNX -0.3%. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 3:10 PM Peabody Energy (BTU +0.3%) expects its Q1 2013 results to come in weaker than originally thought, but sees increased U.S. gas-to-coal switching, and thinks global seaborne coal markets show signs of improving next year. The optimistic take overlooks high inventories, weak export demand and rising regulation; most coal shares are higher: ANR +3.2%, WLT +2.5%, ACI +1.3%. 2 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 8:53 AM Peabody Energy (BTU) says Q1 2013 should mark a trough in earnings, with results expected to increase as the year proceeds based on improving Australian production and margins. For FY 2013, BTU is targeting capex ~50% lower than 2012 targets of $1B-$1.1B, and U.S. sales volumes of 180M-190M tons vs. 2012 targets of 188M-192M tons. BTU -1.8% premarket. Comment! [Energy, On the Move]
- Monday, December 10, 2012, 9:06 AM Goldman Sachs cuts 2013-14 met coal prices, predicting a slower, longer grind back to mid-cycle. The firm says reductions to its forecasts for China, Europe and Japan seaborne imports mean less Australia and U.S. exports should be needed. Goldman remains neutral on U.S. coal stocks, but cuts price targets for ANR, ACI, CNX, BTU, SXC and WLT. 10 Comments [Energy]
- Thursday, December 6, 2012, 9:18 AM Investors seem to take seriously the latest takeover chatter surrounding Walter Energy (WLT), sending shares +7.5% premarket as vague rumors circulate that bidders could emerge. BHP Billiton (BHP) is said to be interested again; Glencore (GLCNF.PK) could be another candidate; Anglo American has been mentioned in the past. Other coal names are up: ANR +1.9%, CNX +1.6%, ACI +1.3%, BTU +0.8%. 5 Comments [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 5, 2012, 3:19 PM Coal stocks are strong following reports China’s new leadership pledged to promote domestic demand and urbanization with wider policy support for economic recovery. China relies heavily on coal for power generation. ANR +10.6%, ACI +7.7%, WLT +6.7%, CNX +5%, BTU +4.7%. KOL +2.9%. 10 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, November 30, 2012, 2:15 PM Walter Energy's (WLT +7.3) refusal to comment on rumors of BHP's interest in an acquisition keeps shares moving higher, perhaps suggesting more than idle chatter. Also, another analyst sees the coal industry improving in 2013. The two developments are propping up the sector (KOL +0.5): JRCC +7.6%, OXF +4.2%, ANR +3.4%, ACI +2%, BTU +0.9%. 2 Comments [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Tuesday, November 27, 2012, 2:25 PM Peabody Energy (BTU -0.7%) will permanently close its Willow Lake Mine in Illinois after a history of failing to meet operating performance and safety standards. BTU expects to incur a largely non-cash, one-time charge of $40M-$60M, or $0.10-$0.15/share, in Q4; it expects little effect on ongoing earnings from the closing. Comment! [Energy]
- Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 4:12 AM Japan's Kansai Electric Power and Kyushu Electric Power agree to acquire 1M tons of low-sulphur high quality U.S. coal from Oxbow Carbon in a one-year deal. The contract comes as Japan's nuclear reactors remain closed following last year's Fukushima disaster. The prospect of selling more coal to Japan could boost the U.S.'s beleaguered coal sector, with stocks that might be worth watching today including BTU, ACI, RNO, OXF, JRCC, CNX, WLT, ANR, WLB and PCXCQ.PK. Comment! [Energy, Commodities]
- Friday, November 16, 2012, 3:39 PM A judge adds a second coal lease to an environmental lawsuit against the U.S. Forest Service that contests Wyoming coal mining on grounds that include climate change. The lawsuit will now contest two coal tracts containing more than 1B tons of coal reserves next to Peabody Energy's (BTU -0.2%) North Antelope Rochelle Mine in the Powder River Basin. 10 Comments [Energy]

- Friday, October 26, 2012, 10:59 AM Peabody Energy (BTU +1.3%) calls for a commission to tackle rising costs and government policy in Australia's resources sector, including a review of a new tax on coal and iron ore profits and a new levy on carbon emissions. CEO Greg Boyce joins a chorus of energy and mining leaders critical of Australian policy as companies struggle with rising costs and falling commodity prices. Comment! [Commodities, Global & FX]
