Not surprisingly, the weekly y/y weather is a fairly persistent indicator for activity in coal for the coming week; better than looking at point temp of forecast vs. normal. This graphic shows the y/y change in min temp on the left, and the market response on the right (shown here via the KOL ETF). Extending this further, the Monday morning outlook should be a useful indicator for directional activity in KOL for the coming week. The important item to note here is that the forward y/y weather view is developed by Weather Trends ahead of the 10-14 day maps that most in the market are using, allowing for early identification and optimization of entry/exit points.
