Morning Vet. We have a cold spell moving into the US Mid-West till mid/late next week. After that it gets milder again. AFA NG prices and storage trends are concerned? It's all about how many homes and businesses R pulling from supply in your area vs mine. The US Mid-West is the largest NG demand region in N.A. Although the NE US is more heavily populated, they use a lot of heating oil AWA NG. All we can do is keep an eye on: 1. The outlook for industrial activity in the next 3-6 months which is an important determinant of NG demand. 2. Events in the ME which can heavily impact crude oil and heating oil prices and therefore support or detract from NG prices. 3. The temperature outlook, particularly for the US Mid-West. 4. The broad stock market, where big swings effect highly cyclical industry groups like the energy stocks. 5. FED policy, and monetary trends 6. TA and chart patterns in the energy sector AWA the broad market indices. A lot of balls to juggle in the analysis game. But that's always been the case. R you long any energy stocks or commodity futures right now? Cheers, Isopatch
