Why Peabody Energy Stock Zoomed This Week and Could Run Higher

Why Peabody Energy Stock Zoomed This Week and Could Run Higher

Shares of Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU) were dropping 4% on the day as of 9:50 a.m. ET Friday. You can thank commodity prices (and it's not just coal that I'm referring to here). Newcastle coal prices, which are also the benchmark for the Asian market, rocketed this week to above $400 per metric ton and are barely $20 away from record highs as of this writing, according to data from TradingEconomics.com.
