This week’s highlighted Market is Natural Gas futures. Natural Gas is part of the energy sector along with its cousins, Crude Oil, RBOB – Unleaded gas and heating oil. All traded on the NYMEX/GLOBEX exchange.
Natural gas is still the nation’s dominant fuel source but democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden touted his $2 trillion clean energy plan seeks to end natural gas use within 15 years. No one knows what the result of the presidential election will be, but in between Nat Gas has seen heightened volatility.
Very volatile market with wild moves recently as well as large intraday trading ranges.
