Teck Resources (TCK, quote) is one of the great emerging market mining plays with mining assets focused in Copper, Zinc, and Coal.
With 54% of their revenues come from Asia, 18% U.S., and the rest is Latam, Canada and Africa according to their 1st fiscal year accounting.
Guidance was not great on coking coal prices and the market is concerned that outside of china they are not seeing real demand in alternative markets.
Coking coal demand will remain subdued in the first quarter and fourth quarter prices were 159/ton. Demand in china these days is seen as an artificial demand until proven otherwise.
Real recovery in coking coal prices it seems is what the market is really waiting on to rally before taking not only Teck, but other miners higher.
