If Mongolia really did only export 3.44mt in April, it's clearly a disappointing number given the supply disruptions in Australia.

It also suggests that MCC is on a 1.0-1.1 mt pace for Q2 (using your formula of 10% share of Mongolian exports for MMC).

I think MMC is going to miss their 4.5mt annual guidance, especially when you consider that Australia is probably coming back online in a big way at this point, and will likely take back lost market share.

This news couldn't come at a better time, especially given the relative strength of the stock in the last 2-3 weeks.

Damn it....right in front of my face:

This was the highest level of shipments from Indonesia to China since December, and it's possible the April figure could be revised higher in coming days as cargoes that arrived at the end of the month get added to the count.

Can't believe I missed that originally....that's the difference.



So it was flawed given lack of data.....that's all

SXcoal provided the headline...I do not have a subscription to read it any further. So it seems in line.

!!But this is where it gets really strange...straight out of the "twilight zone"....in my course of finding my error...I came across this.........and it is odd:
