  • Natural Gas News Any Hope For Bulls?

6
  • No doubt about it, the situation in natural gas
    has officially gone from bad to downright
    ridiculous. The commodity broke to new decade
    lows below 1.90 mmBtuyesterday thanks to weeks
    of freakishly warm weather in Eastern US.

7
  • Fact is, temperatures across the Eastern seaboard
    have been well above average since early
    November.

  • As you can see, natural gas is still stuck in a
    steep bear market thanks to resilient US
    production, abundant inventories, and warm
    temperatures.

10
  • Speaking of inventories

11
  • Last Thursdays EIA natural gas report revealed
    there are 3,880 billion cubic feet (bcf) in
    storage for the week ending December 4th.

12
  • While that number in 76 bcf lower than the
    previous week, its 15.3 above year ago levels
    and 6.5 higher than the five year average.
    Heres the EIAs storage chart

14
  • Notice how current inventories (blue line) are
    well above the 5-year average range (shaded
    area). Without question, there are abundant
    quantities of natural gas sitting in US storage
    caverns right now.

15
  • Is there any hope for natural gas bulls right now?

16
  • Unfortunately, no Even though the price of the
    commodity is trading just shy of the 2012 low at
    1.90 mmBtu, its unlikely we see any dramatic
    upturn soon. Heres why

18
  • Judging by the NOAAs 8-14 day outlook, Old Man
    Winter is still nowhere in sight. The Eastern US
    will likely remain stuck in this dominant warm
    weather pattern through Christmas.

19
  • Whats causing this abnormal Eastern US weather?
    Most meteorologists are pointing the finger at El
    Niño. The disruptive Pacific Ocean phenomenon
    tends to bring mild temperatures to much of the
    US.

20
  • According to Accuweather.com the warmth recently
    broke a 142- year old record in Lexington,
    Kentucky.

21
  • Heres the key for trading natural gas

22
  • While the outlook is undeniably bearish right
    now, I wouldnt be short this commodity. The
    first hint of cold Eastern US temperatures and we
    could see a substantial short covering rally.

23
  • On the other hand, if temperatures remain warm in
    key usage regions we may see the commodity weaken
    even further.

24
  • Given the remarkably abundant inventories, its
    not out of the question for natural gas to seek
    out the 1995 low near 1.25 mmBtu.

25
  • Due to the weather uncertainty, the best course
    of action is to remain patiently on the sideline
    in natural gas.
