Welcome to another Friday, as we charge into the second half of July. Natural gas is having a strong end to the week, back in the middle of the $4 to $5 range it has been pinging around in for this year, while crude oil is bamboozled to ebb and flow but ultimately remain in the mid-$90s. Continued warmer weather outlooks are supporting natty, while crude is flailing on concerns of a stuttering global economy, intermittently spurred on by bouts of bullishness (on rumors of bailouts, QE3, etc). Without further ado, let’s chew!: » read more

Burrito Bites
Well, it has certainly been an eventful first few days to kick off 2011, with natural gas all over the shop, as cooler weather outlooks rally prices, while bearish fundamentals hang out in the background, heckling the bulls. Crude is baffled by a stronger dollar despite rising equities and moderately decent data; hence it has been bashed back below $90, as European default worries pummel the euro, making the US look relatively spry in comparison. Meanwhile, the monkeys are the smart ones and have sought out the radiators in this most frigid of months. Let’s forget about frostbite for these bites instead: » read more
