Up to date crude and natural gas futures report, courtesy of infobeat.
The crude prices retreated a bit, but natural gas prices look great, which is great news for natural gas heavy companies like AXAS.
Crude continued its retreat on the New York Mercantile Exchange as
investors took profits from sharp recent gains that pushed prices
above $18 a barrel.
Speculators have driven prices sharply higher, betting that world
oil producers mean it this time when they say they are serious
about sharply reducing daily output.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other
key producers have agreed to slash 2.1 million barrels, or 2.7
percent of daily supply, from output. That agreement went into
effect on April 1, but independent confirmation that the cuts are
being made will not be available for several weeks.
Some analysts have been skeptical that top producers will meet
their goals anytime soon, if ever.
Natural gas futures, meanwhile, jumped to their highest in 22
months amid concern about the slow pace of rebuilding winterinventories. (AP)
