3/19/2013 Update:

Previous Crude Pit Session:

High: 94.30
Low: 92.14
Close:  94.09

Looking ahead to today:
We saw crude oil prices trade in a wide 2.16 range before settling near high prints at 93.09 after recovering from 4 day lows at 92.14.  The early downward sentiment was mostly driven by strength in the Dollar of fears out of Cyprus.  Then we caught large bid off the Lows from Dealers and locals as news that Syria began bombing the Lebanese border and a sentiment among traders that the Cyprus issue may be overblown.   We are looking at an open above the 94.00 handle as a bullish sign that could push us up to the top of our 95.00 as options suggest.  We need to keep a close eye on Today's API report due out later as a build in inventories may bring us back to the lows of our range and a draw my continue to put pressure to the upside.  Additionally, we need to continue to monitor any Geopolitical news that can continue to impact this market.

Previous Natural Gas Pit Session:

High: 3.961
Low: 3.877
Close:  3.883

Looking ahead to today:
We saw Natural Gas prices catch a bid early in the session making new highs at 3.961 before selling off to our low prints at 3.877.  The overnight Globex session has continued to chop sideways.   We have seen some floor traders take on short positions at the 3.90-3.91 levels, possibly suggesting that this strong uptrend may be starting to stall.  That said, we will need to keep a close eye on how prices react at key levels this week as well as any weather reports that may reverse or slow down this bullish up trend.   Natty may continue to chop sideways until Thursdays Storage report gives us a better indication on current demand and storage levels.
