3:37 pm
how confident are you that the democrats will remain unified again? rep. levin: the main issue remains related to this process. is used as a bargaining chip to try to pass the fast-track. that is what the administration of the republicans were up to. peter: are you going to try again? rep. levin: i know, but i want to retain our role in this negotiation with these policies and trade agreements that affect middle-class jobs throw this country. i hope what happened today will spark even more focus on the substance of this, because fasttrack is fasttrack of a major negotiation product.

segment in energy in particular. the s&p energy index is the worst performer today. it is not just the normal oil and gas stocks we are seeing a fall today, it is cold as well -- it is coal as well. companies like peabody energy and arch coal, all of them are falling today. arch were actually at record lows, and we are actually seeing them at a six year low. reviewing, they are whether these companies will have to take out additional insurance. self bonding, are so-called, which essentially means that they can insure themselves, which is a less expensive option in the event of losses or eventual bankruptcy. that is something that investors weighingng today -- today when looking at coal stocks.
3:45 pm
you are looking at here a couple of different pricing models for met coal, that is metallurgical coal, it is coal used to make steel. this is from a bloomberg intelligence, and they are looking at two different measures of met coal. basically you can see it has gone down and down and down. natural gassee prices going down, and you can compare that with coal, so that has hurt the industry as well. this does not provide a very good outlook for coal, and then you put this regulatory risk for insurance on top of it, and that created big drawdown. norway, they say they are not going to be investing in coal stocks as well. so there is that angle. thank you, good stuff. that was julie hyman. stories and top
