By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every country in the world depends on energy.\u00a0For some, energy production is the backbone of their economies.\u00a0Energy products<\/a> as a percentage of all that a country exports can be as high as 90% or more.\u00a0Kuwait, Libia and Iraq are notable examples.\u00a0For others, energy is a scarce resource within their borders making it necessary to import it.\u00a0Countries like South Korea, Ireland and Japan import over 80% of their needed energy.\u00a0Governments, multinational corporations, international consortiums (think OPEC) often vigorously compete for control of energy production and distribution \u2013 and the revenue that comes from them.\u00a0Energy resources have literally fueled wars for their control.\u00a0Without doubt, oil, its refined products and natural gas are among the world\u2019s most valued commodities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not surprisingly, energy futures contracts like crude oil, heating oil, unleaded gas and natural gas are some of the largest futures contracts in the world by volume.\u00a0The CME Group\u2019s NYMEX Exchange offers trading on some of the energy sector\u2019s\u00a0benchmark products, including West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude<\/a>, Henry Hub Natural Gas<\/a>, Brent Crude and RBOB Gasoline<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like stock index futures, energy futures trade 23 hours a day (5:00 P.M. \u2013 4:00 P.M., Central Time), Sunday through Friday.\u00a0Both crude oil and natural gas offer mini contracts and crude oil even offers a micro contract.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you\u2019re trading is solely focused on stock indexes, think about adding energy futures to your watch list and expanding your trading power (pun intended) with energy futures contracts.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
