Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- ICE Futures Europe will add
starting tomorrow to the number of contracts that traders can
use to offset margining costs against coal futures, according to
the brokerage GlobalCOAL.
Coal traders will be able to offset the margin, or
collateral held against Henry Hub natural gas, U.K. baseload
power, Brent first-line swaps and three fuel-oil contracts,
GlobalCOAL said in an e-mailed statement said. GlobalCOAL is co-
operating with ICE to develop the coal futures market.
