North America coal short-term outlook September 2019: extended summer weather but does that mean a warm winter?
Report summary
Summer was extended this month, as hotter than average temperatures across the US helped to extend higher power demand support to the market. However, while this late summer boost may help support stronger power demand now, there are concerns that this warmer weather will be an indication of a warmer winter. We project that there will be a delay in larger heating loads and that this heating demand erosion will discount the benefit of this current heatwave overall.
