This research concludes that Coal, lignite and peat (SITC 333) and gas, natural, and manufactured (SITC 341) are the upfront energy commodity line that share positive index, meanwhile briquettes; coke and semi-coke; lignite or peat; retort carbon (SITC 332) is the least competitive basket in energy market.
