The key to US oil and gas will be hurricane season. If the energy complex comes through unscathed, we ought to see at least the speculative trade in it break. The spreads in bills have widened out, time to move more four weekers into three and six month IMO. auction results: 4 week: 4.727% 3 month: 4.926% 6 month: 5.121%

My view has been that gold is the currency you'll need to buy oil. Uncle Buck won't cut it. I know the FED in collusion with the Bush Administration would like a more painless way to deal with oil prices: by engineering the USD higher. Problem is, as you know, the USD is under assault from the Debt, and the Debt's compounding. The USA could have a decent shot at lower oil by making the USD strong the real way: getting the Debt under control. But it's clear to me now Bernanke is a colluder in avoiding that path. Oil is such a beautiful expression of the USD's PPP, don;t you think? Best, LP
