Australia’s Coal Giants Seek to Shed Port Assets
The Wall Street Journal's Asia MoneyBeat reported that major coal miners operating in Australia — like Glencore Xstrata plc (LSE:GLEN) and Yancoal Australia Ltd. (ASX:YAL) — are eager to auction off port assets worth "tens of millions of dollars" that were hot assets only a year and a half ago. That indicates that they are not confident that coal prices will rebound in the near future.
