Such financing opportunities attract funds with a focus on commodities, but also those that have traditionally concentrated on generic trade finance. The trading margins on coal are so good that the market can cope with sky-high lending rates, according to Chris Scott, chief financial officer of Novum Energy Trading Corp., which specializes in oil products but also trades US and Colombian coal.
