There are two kinds of coal and two kinds of coal market - thermal and coking.
Thermal (such as BTU) will be under pressure for some time due to NG pricing. On the other hand, if China is not showing slowing down, coking coal would be way oversold - WLT and ANR.
Coking coal price has dropped sharply from $300/ton range to $210 recently, and will not have much room to drop.
ACI has a mixture of thermal and coking mines and perhaps with more on the coking side.
ANR is dominantly with coking. WLT is pure coking.
