USA coal exports, a tale of two markets: thermal versus metallurgical coal
USA coal exports are due to jump this month but what is the split between thermal and metallurgical coal?

Conversely and despite high prices, strong demand from domestic power generators is keeping a lid on thermal coal exports.
