12/7/2012 Update:

Thursdays Crude Pit Session: 

High: 87.09
Low: 85.68
Settle: 86.22

Looking ahead to today’s crude pit session:

We watched crude oil prices dip in into the 85 handle making pit session lows at 85.68.  A weaker than expected job number today could continue to fuel this push down. Poor economic data out of Europe regarding Germanys weaker than expected industrial numbers report and an earthquake in Japan further raise crude oil traders concerns that demand will decline and stockpiles may increase.   Additionally, we need to keep a close eye on geopolitical news out of Syria, Turkey and the Middle East as any escalation of unrest in these regions could impact prices.  

Tune in this morning to hear a full analysis and pit commentary.  


Levels:  

Support: 85.68, 85.38, 85.00, 84.50, 84.26, 84.00, 81.71
Resistance:  86.00, 86.81, 87.00, 87.50, 87.93, 88.23, 89.23

Thurdays Natural Gas Pit Session: 

High: 3.748
Low: 3.614
Close / Settle: 3.659

Today’s Natural Gas pit session:

Looking back at yesterday’s pit session for Natural Gas we saw a wide trading range off of inventory numbers with a greater than expected draw of -73BCF,  analyst were forecasting a draw of  -63BCF to -70BCF.  For a historical perspective, the 5 year inventory level was at a draw of 51BCF compared to the last years draw of 14BCF, so we can see storage levels are lower. We can possibly see Natural Gas prices trade lower because of a weather forecast that came out earlier this week from the national weather service forecasting warmer than expected weather across the United  States.

Tune in this morning to hear a full Analysis and pit commentary.


Levels: 

Support: 3.612, 3.586, 3.530
Resistance:  3.750, 3.825, 3.916
