It depends on this coming winter. If we get very cold winter, I would expect prices to go higher to $3.50, otherwise I would expect to trader around $3-$3.25. There is so much gas and we haven't seen any sign of slow down in production. Currently, coal to gas switching is supporting the price.

 

Yeah, I was wondering if we've seen the majority of the coal-to-gas switching already occur? NG is used primarily for cooling days, so demand could possibly slacken a little in the winter? I guess the concern is that there are fewer and fewer rigs that are producing more and more NG. Couple that with the administrations pressure on coal and it paints a potentially grim picture. Coal seems to become competitive with NG at ~$3/MBtu so can NG really maintain these lows?

 

Yes, majority of switching has occurred, but coal prices are going down too so at $3.00 or higher I would expect switching to slow down.
