Natural Gas is down $0.02, trading just above the Control Pivot.
Crude Oil gained $2 last week. "Risk On" continues, with bullish sentiment increasing via record highs in the equity markets, optimism about vaccines, a new low in the dollar and less hawkishness from the Fed. Cal 2021 has entered the $47-$52 zone that has been highlighted this month for Producers to add Market Driven hedges.
Natural Gas rose 11 cents in quieter rangebound trade. The majority of the week's gain came last Monday on a colder forecast, and the market consolidated those gains the next 4 sessions.
