		<description><![CDATA[Coal has been used for nearly as long as mankind has thrived. From the times of the cavemen to present day, coal is used for everything from cooking to heating to running steam-powered trains to generating electricity. Today, coal is burned as fuel or gasified to create a synthesis gas (syngas) that can then be used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals, fertilizer and electric power. Coal is also used for producing heat through combustion. The USA, Russia, Australia, China, India and South Africa have the largest coal reserves in the world. Coal is produced in 25 states in the US, spread across three coal-producing regions. The majority of the current production originates in just five states: Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Montana. The importance of coal ]]></description>

(CNX) provided guidance for coal exports in the range of 10 to 10.5 million tons for 2011, up from the initial coal exports outlook of 10 million tons.

CONSOL Energy has to draw more from its inventory level due to strong shipments in the quarter.

(ANR) recently lowered its export guidance for the fiscal year citing reduced demand from Asian countries. Another compatriot Walter Energy Inc. (WLT) lowered its sales forecasts for the second ]]></description>

The U.S. economy came out of the recession in the summer of 2009 and has been in a recovery mode since then, though the pace of improvement appears to have weakened lately. Like the other commodity sectors, the fortunes of the coal industry are closely tied to the health of the global economy. The post-recession demand recovery helped improve the group’s earnings power, with most coal companies solidly profitable in 2010. This uptrend in demand, largely driven by the improvement in the global economic activity, rebound in domestic power demand, favorable weather patterns and soaring coal demand from Asian countries, also continued into 2011. ]]></description>

There will be 348 firms reporting, and 108 of those are in the S&#38;P 500. By next Friday we should have a very good handle on how the overall earnings season will go. The firms reporting this week are sort of like a who&#8217;s who of U.S. industry including: Apple (AAPL), American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), General Electric (GE), International Business Machines (IBM), Intel (INTC), McDonald&#8217;s (MCD), Schlumberger (SLB) and Verizon (VZ).

		<description><![CDATA[Coal and natural gas company CONSOL Energy Inc. (CNX) announced the closure of its Mine 84, located near Washington, Pennsylvania.  The company said the mine which had been in operation for decades producing thermal and metallurgical coal is no longer competitive. The company pointed out that the mine was idled in the first quarter of 2009. CONSOL Energy said the closure will incur total pre-tax charges of $116 million.  Of the total cost, about $111 million will be non-cash while $5 million will result in future cash expenditures. Pre-tax cash savings from the closure is estimated to be around $18 million annually. This action forms a distinctive part of the company&#8217;s ongoing efforts to reallocate resources to more profitable coal operations and Marcellus shale drilling activities. Going forward, CONSOL will ]]></description>

(BTU) has signed an acquisition deal with Thiess Investments Pty Ltd to buy the remaining 5% joint venture interest in an Australian coal mine, the Burton Mine, for AU$35 million. Peabody had acquired 95% of Burton in April 2004. The acquisition of the Burton Mine will bring Peabody’s ownership of the hard coking coal operation in Queensland, Australia to 100%. Located in the Bowen Basin, about 93 miles southwest of Mackay in Queensland, the Burton Mine is operated under contract by Thiess. The Burton Mine shipped 2.6 million tons of coal in 2010 via the Dalrymple Bay coal terminal and is undergoing an extension that will allow Burton volumes to increase by 1 million to 2 million tons annually in 2012, with operations continuing through ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Carl Delfeld, Investment U’s Emerging Markets Expert Tuesday, May 3, 2011: Issue #1504 Move over Li Ka-Shing. Guo Guangchang, along with three partners, began investing in China in 1992 with a paltry $4,000 grubstake. Their holding company, Fosun International, has since then grown to jackpot of $6.3 billion. Forbes now estimates Mr. Guo’s stockpile at $2.8 billion. Amazing. Most of Fosun’s initial investments were in fast-growing Chinese companies in sectors like mining, steel and property. Then it shifted gears with a few investments in service companies like Focus Media (Nasdaq: FMCN). Focus Media is China’s leading digital media group (recommended by the New Frontier Trader last month). I don’t know about you, but I’m “all ears” to learn about Fosun’s next step. Here’s a hint – the new focus ]]></description>

Net earnings of $423 million or $3.11 per share in the first quarter were 449%, above last year’s $77 million or 57 cents. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.25 per share. Quarterly revenues came in at $1.2 billion, up 63% year over year. The increase was driven by several factors, including higher pricing in each of Cliffs&#8217; business segments and the favorable effect of Cliffs&#8217; previously disclosed negotiated settlement with ArcelorMittal USA Inc. Operating income in the quarter increased 377% year over year to $541 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Tuesday, April 19, 2011 Following the uncomfortable reminder from the S&#38;P yesterday about the nation&#8217;s financial health, stocks will likely go back to &#8216;normal&#8217; behavior today. Helping the market shift its focus is positive earnings reports from two major firms and a better-than-expected housing report. The overall positive tone of the day&#8217;s news flow should help stocks claw back some of the losses from Monday. On the busy earnings calendar this morning, we got upbeat reports from two key blue-chip operators, Goldman Sachs (GS) and Johnson &#38; Johnson (JNJ). We have Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM) reporting after the close today. Goldman came out ahead on both EPS and revenue, dispelling apprehensions that the Wall Street titan&#8217;s fall in the global M&#38;A league tables had minimal impact on earnings. Offsetting the deal-making &#8216;softness&#8217; was trading strength, which came in much more stronger than expected.

Cliffs will get a payment of around $250 million to $270 million after reaching an agreement with ArcelorMittal. In addition, as part of the settlement, Cliffs and ArcelorMittal have agreed to replace the previous pricing mechanism with a world market-based pricing mechanism beginning in 2011 and through the remainder of the contract for one of the iron ore supply agreements that Cliffs has with ArcelorMittal. As a result of the new pricing feature, going forward, the parties also agreed to forgo future price reopeners. Earlier in January 2011, Cliffs agreed to buy Canada’s Consolidated Thompson Iron Mines Ltd. for about ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Monday, April 11, 2011 Not long ago, I wrote about how Chinese oil companies like PetroChina (NYSE: PTR) and CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE: CEO) are shifting their focus beyond their own backyard and have begun to expand overseas. Over the past decade, Chinese oil companies have been snapping up energy-rich assets around the globe in order to fill China’s growing need for resources. Just last year alone, China-based firms spent more than $30 billion in overseas deals. In contrast, the world’s largest importer of commodities, like copper and iron ore, spent a paltry $4.5 billion on overseas mining deals. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, this comprised only 6% of global mining transactions in 2010. The discrepancy lies in the fact that China became a net oil importer ]]></description>

On the second-busiest trading day of the year, the crisis in Japan worsened and comments from the European Union about the situation strengthened fears of a nuclear catastrophe. Investors remained tense about the challenges that the crisis was going to create for the global economic recovery. Additionally, investors’ mood was also dampened by the continuing tensions in Libya and Bahrain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) suffered its worst run in eight months as it lost 2.04% and closed at 11,613.3. All 30 components of the Dow were on the declining side.

Recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy is regaining its stability, and sees a rebound in various industries &#8212; the coal industry being one of them. The emerging situation in Japan that has given the nuclear industry a black eye also is a net positive for the coal industry. The World Bank estimates global economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP), expanded 3.9% in 2010. Global GDP is projected to grow another 3.3% in 2011 and 3.6% in 2012, with developing economies &#8212; led by China and India &#8212; expanding 6% or more in each year, ]]></description>

Indonesia is the world&#8217;s largest supplier of seaborne thermal coal. Peabody said that the coal secured from PT CEM’s East Kalimantan mine over two years will be exported to Asian countries. Peabody will conduct the Asian exports through its international trading hub in Singapore, COALTRADE. The company said that its relationship with PT CEM can be expanded over time. Peabody said this is the third agreement it has reached recently to source Indonesian coal, including a deal inked in December with PT Supra Bara Energi in Indonesia.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, November 30, 2010 What’s dirty and out of fashion, but everybody wants it? That would be coal, both the coking kind used to make steel, and the thermal coal used to fire power plants. Over the past year or so, coal consumption has climbed on emerging market demand. To the industry’s surprise, it’s been enough to push global prices to a two-year high. The Wall Street Journal reports that China even worries it may run out of coal someday. So the government may cap domestic output to keep from running down the country’s reserves too quickly. Intent on meeting that demand, companies everywhere are busy merging and acquiring. In fact, just in the last few weeks, $15 billion in deals have been announced. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The outlook for the coal industry has revived materially from the weakness experienced in 2008 and 2009, driven by several powerful trends in the U.S. and Asia. Various recent economic indicators suggest that the U.S. economy regaining its stability, bringing about a rebound in various industries &#8211; the coal industry being one of them. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal production in 2009 fell by nearly 8.5% in response to lower U.S. coal consumption, fewer exports and higher coal inventories. Going forward, the EIA estimates a 0.3% decline in U.S. coal production in 2010, as drawdown in both producer and end-user inventories are expected to meet the increased coal consumption in 2010. However, coal production in 2011 is estimated to improve 1.8%. At the current rate of ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Total Industrial Production rose by 0.2% in August, which was a tick less than the 0.3% rise that was expected. It was also slower than the 0.6% rise in July. The July number was revised down from a 1.0% increase, but June was revised to an increase of 0.1% from a decline of 0.1%. Relative to a year ago, total Industrial Production is up 6.2%. These numbers are slightly disappointing, but far from a disaster, as much of the weakness can be traced to some seasonal adjustment problems. Total Industrial Production includes not only the output of the nation’s factories, but of its mines and utility power plants as well. The production and consumption of electricity generally has as much to do with the weather as it does with overall ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coal producer Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) joined forces with Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Ltd. to form a Mongolian joint venture. The collaboration, Peabody-Winsway Resources, was formed after Winsway acquired a 50% interest in the joint venture from Polo Resources. Winsway is the largest offtaker of Mongolian coking coal and supplier of imported high-quality coking coal in China. Peabody-Winsway Resources has coal and uranium licenses in Mongolia, and is actively exploring the South Gobi region. Peabody is the largest pure-play coal producer. Its Australian operations provide a direct exposure to Asian markets such as China and India, where substantial increases in coal demand are expected in the years ahead. Peabody’s growth story thus continues to ride on the strong China-India-Australia connection. Peabody Energy anticipates worldwide electricity generation capacity to soar by ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Canyon Fuel Company, a subsidiary of Arch Coal Inc. (ACI), has resumed coal production at its Dugout Canyon Mine in Carbon County, Utah. The production has been restarted with all mining equipment Incorporatedluding the main long-wall mining system. Following the detection of a small increase in carbon monoxide levels, coal production at this mine was stopped on Apr 29, 2010. Dugout Canyon mine has 275 employees producing low-sulfur bituminous coal. During the first quarter of 2010, the mine’s production contributed 2% to Arch’s total production. The mine produced approximately 200,000 tons of low-sulfur bituminous coal per month in the first quarter of 2010. The mine’s closure for about a month will put the company under pressure to achieve its production target in the upcoming quarter. However, due to the restart ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Australian miner Macarthur Coal Limited exited the merger proposal of Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) after the company revised its offer last week. Last week, Peabody had slashed its bid for acquiring Macarthur Coal Limited, on due diligence and the new Australian proposal to tax mining profits. The company had cut down its offer to A$3.8 billion (US$3.4 billion) from A$4.1 billion (US$3.8 billion) proposed earlier. After the meeting of the Macarthur Board of Directors for considering Peabody’s revised bid, the board arrived at the conclusion that the offer could not reasonably be recommended to shareholders. Macarthur said  that even if the bid were put to shareholders, it was unlikely to succeed as its top two shareholders holding a 38.7% stake, did not back it. The offer was conditioned upon receipt of ]]></description>

A year ago, the trade deficit was $28.74 billion, so it is up a whopping 43.74% from then. It is still, however, well below the $60+ billion trade deficits that were the norm before world trade imploded in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown. The historic high in the Trade Deficit was hit in July 2008 at $64.9 billion, and by February 2009 if had plunged to just $25.50 billion. That would have been great news if it had happened the right way, by exports rising faster than imports. However, that was not the case &#8212; both imports and exports plunged, which signaled the absolute collapse in world trade, which was ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The war between Peabody Energy Corporation (BTU) and Australia’s New Hope Corporation for the takeover of Macarthur Coal Limited is in full swing. Peabody Energy again raised its Macarthur bid to $3.8 billion, in response to New Hope’s raised proposal which includes a cash option. Peabody had initially offered Macarthur $3 billion in cash, raising it to $3.27 billion in a revised bid last week. However, the bids of both companies are conditioned upon Macarthur calling off a plan to buy smaller rival Gloucester Coal Ltd. and its related transactions with Noble Group. Peabody’s Latest Offer Under its new proposal, Peabody offers Macarthur shareholders a cash price of A$16.00 per share valuing Macarthur at A$4.1 billion (US$3.8 billion). Furthermore, Peabody is prepared to offer cash to all Macarthur shareholders and ]]></description>

While that is a slowdown from recent growth rates, and far below consensus expectations of 0.7% growth, if one looks beyond the headline number, it is actually a fairly positive report. For starters, each of the previous three months was revised higher, with growth in February now estimated at 0.3% rather than the original 0.1%, January rising 1.0% instead of 0.9% and December showing growth of 0.7% rather than 0.5%. Those upward revisions are a very good omen for first quarter GDP growth. Year over year, industrial production is up 4.0%. Total industrial production includes not just the output of the nation&#8217;s factories, but of its mines and utilities as well. It is the utility portion that tends to cause the most ]]></description>

However, the company said there has been no agreements or decisions made regarding timing or structure. Peabody said it recognizes long-term coal demand in India. Peabody also said its discussions with Coal India are unrelated to other potential transactions Peabody is involved in. Peabody pointed out that Coal India is in negotiations that would give Coal India a stake in some of Peabody&#8217;s Australian coal mines along with other assets. Peabody has eight mines in Australia. St. Louis, Missouri based Peabody Energy produces enough coal to fuel 10% of all U.S. electricity generation and 2% of worldwide electricity.

In an effort to abandon Macarthur’s proposal to acquire Gloucester Coal Limited, in deal that would make Singapore-based Noble Group the largest shareholder in Macarthur, Peabody had raised its bid to $3.3 billion. Under Peabody&#8217;s revised non-binding proposal, Macarthur shareholders would receive a cash price of A$14.00 per share. This represents a 44% premium to A$9.70 per share, the price at which Macarthur agreed to issue shares to Noble Group in relation to the Gloucester takeover offer. Furthermore, the company had also reduced its conditionality of the proposal.

		<description><![CDATA[Australia’s Macarthur Coal Limited declined Peabody Energy Corporation’s (BTU) takeover bid of $3.0 billion, saying it undervalues the company and its growth prospects. Macarthur holds 145 million tons of reserves of low-volatile pulverized coal injection (PCI) coal and 1.3 billion tons of resources. It has a current production capacity of more than 5 million tons per year. Peabody already owns nine coal operations in the Australian states of Queensland and New South Wales which produced 22.3 million tons of coking and thermal coal in 2009. Peabody believes that there is a strong strategic rationale for a combination of Macarthur&#8217;s operating assets and project pipeline with Peabody&#8217;s growing Australian platform of metallurgical and thermal coal production. According to Macarthur management, Peabody&#8217;s proposal is highly conditional and is not in the best ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) signed an agreement with GreatPoint to pursue development of coal-to-gas and coal-to-hydrogen projects in the U.S. and around the world with carbon capture and storage (CCS) that would achieve near-zero carbon emissions while liberating vast quantities of stranded oil. The projects would be developed using GreatPoint&#8217;s proprietary Bluegas technology, an alternative to conventional gasification. This technology utilizes catalytic hydromethanation to create pure hydrogen and substitute natural gas. According to the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s National Energy Technology Laboratory, catalytic hydromethanation combined with advanced power generation eliminates more than 90% of carbon emissions and nearly doubles the efficiency of conventional coal combustion or Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power plants. This technology captures the carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be used for domestic oil production through enhanced oil ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Monday, February 1, 2010 The price of thermal coal recently broke through the psychological $100 barrier for the first time in more than a year, just as a wave of brutally cold weather and heavy snow hit China. That storm disrupted mining operations and railway transportation, causing widespread panic buying among Chinese utilities that rely on thermal coal to fire their power plants, especially since they were running low even beforehand. Those shortages strongly indicate a major market change, as China changes from a coal exporter to an importer, despite it having the world’s third largest coal reserves. It began months ago, with Beijing clamping down on illegal and unsafe mining, a move that forced hundreds of small mines in the key coal producing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Massey Energy Co. (MEE)  the largest coal company in Central Appalachia, Virginia – announced third-quarter earnings of 19 cents per share, which was in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, lower coal shipments and prices drove a 69% slump in earnings year over year. Revenues in the quarter plunged 6% year over year to $6.4 billion, reflecting a 15% drop in sales volumes and a 4% decline in prices. Metallurgical coal accounted for 22% of total shipments, down from 24% in third-quarter 2008. According to company estimates, a fire that destroyed a southern West Virginia preparation plant in August curtailed production by 300,000 tons during the quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[New claims for unemployment insurance fell by 10,000 to 514,000, the lowest level since January.  The four-week average of new claims fell by 9,000 to 531,500.  The four-week average is now 127,250 below the peak set back in April. Both the size of the decline and the time since the peak are powerful arguments that we have seen the high for the cycle. This is good news and more evidence that the recession is indeed over. However, the level is still very high and indicates that the economy is still, on balance, dropping jobs. We need to see the number fall well below the 400,000 level to indicate that job growth has turned positive, and far lower than that to meet the needs of a growing population.

(BTU) has recently opened an office in Jakarta, Indonesia, to expand business development and coal sourcing opportunities in India, China and other fast-growing Asian markets. Indonesia is the world&#8217;s largest source of export thermal coal and the Pacific markets are driving global demand for coal. The company expects these markets to achieve 5% to 10% compound annual growth over the next five or more years. For instance, India is world’s fastest-growing coal importer and is expected to be short by about 200 million tons of coal in the next five years. Also, China &#8211; the world’s largest coal consumer &#8211; has been importing coal at a record pace in 2009.

This will further strengthen Peabody’s access to high-growth seaborne coal markets in the region, especially China and India, which are expected to be the demand drivers in both near and long terms. Peabody has access to emerging Asian economies via its Australian operations. Australian seaborne thermal and metallurgical coal is the highest valued coal in the world due to its high Btu content and its proximity to major consuming markets such as China and India. Coal is assumed to be the fastest growing fuel over the next 20 years and China and India will constitute over 50% of that demand growth. Peabody intends to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our near-term (6-18 months) outlook for the coal industry has improved somewhat from our previous neutral sentiment to a more positive undertone. Based off of various recent economic indicators, the U.S. economy appears to be stabilizing. Although the rest of 2009 is likely to continue on a path of weak steel and electricity demand relative to 2008 levels, several factors should help lift the coal producers in 2010. Reductions in capex spending from both coal and natural gas producers, the weakening of the U.S. dollar and most importantly Incorporatedreased steel and electricity consumption in 2010 should all be positive catalysts for the coal industry next year. As stated in earlier outlook summaries, benchmark metallurgical prices for fiscal 2009 have been set around $120/mt &#8212; off markedly from the $300/mt level ]]></description>
