Analysis and Recommendations:
Natural Gas continued to climb in today’s session, trading at 2.818 ahead of this week’s inventory due tomorrow. Speculators are hoping that this week’s inventory reports a drop in stocks, after high temperatures in the US have sapped up electricity.
Otherwise it was a quiet market day, with little in the way of news or data as we enter mid month.
Crude oil held prices today, as the geopolitical turmoil from the mid east continues on a quieter mode. Crude is trading mid day at 89.31. Markets are expecting to see a drop in crude oil supplies later today when inventory numbers are release.
