So much of natural ordsprog

So much of natural gas prices is weather related. If it's colder people tend to use more energy. And because it's a nationwide market, if it's cooler in New England it's going to drive up the price for us as well.

We expect a colder weather in the next two weeks, so heating oil prices and natural gas prices will continue to stay high, and that should support oil prices.

Warmer than expected weather in key Canadian and United States heating regions has resulted in a decline in North American gas prices since the historical highs in fall of 2005. Natural gas market prices respond to supply and demand. In the fall, reduced natural gas supplies due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita and expectations for a cold winter led to high prices. Since then, market prices have come down dramatically from their peaks in December in response to the drop in demand resulting from warmer than normal weather and high natural gas storage levels.

Even with this weather it's not been enough to drive prices considerably lower. Once again we've got that overhanging thought that things could turn colder again and the supply situation still isn't that good. That's supporting prices where they are.

A 70-degree weekend in November helps to dampen sentiment on energy stocks and it makes for a quietly better market. When the weather gets a little cooler, it changes people's psyches and they will warm up to energy stocks.

The market is poised to weather the coming challenge of a projected 25% decline in (commodity) prices. How much the market discounts into the future remains to be seen. I'm telling you in the next five months gas prices might fall as much as 25%, according to some seasoned industry observers...and then recover smartly. The stock market is fickle. It probably is heading into a little heavier weather in April and May before it begins to look at the coming heating season and look at the coming (commodity) price recovery instead of the price decline.

Market prices are continuing to soften for natural gas (nationwide). You see that show up in electricity prices, too, because so much electricity is generated by natural gas-fired plants.

There are some fears now in the natural-gas market of a return to colder than average weather for the next few weeks.

Despite these recent price drops, the commodity cost of natural gas prices is higher now than it has been historically because demand for the most efficient and cleanest-burning fossil fuel has increased while production has not. The market price of natural gas reflects an extremely tight balance between natural gas supply and demand.

I don't really put too much weight on the big ups and downs in the energy prices. And food prices also fell. That probably is related to the warm winter weather, and we can't count on that continuing for very long, either.

It has the potential to be a good fuel. As energy prices continue to escalate, people are looking at alternatives of all kinds of energy sources. It's all price-driven and there's no prospect that the market will dry up.

Spring is the best time to go looking. Prices tend to be lower, the demand is lower. Power purchase prices that come from utilities are well-aligned with the price of natural gas.

There is increased competition as carriers all vie for renewals in this profitable market. The natural market reaction is to drive down prices. But the devastation of Katrina and Rita is only now beginning to translate into higher renewal prices. The whole picture could change dramatically in the coming quarters.

One of the keys to natural gas prices and what we pay as customers is weather. Natural gas as heating oil is very sensitive to weather. The warmer it gets, the less natural gas you are going to use.

At least in the near term we are seeing a sharp decrease in natural gas prices because the weather has been warmer nationwide and storage levels are running 30 percent above the five-year average. So it's good news from the standpoint that we had a mild winter and that prices are starting to approximate last year instead of being 30 percent or 40 percent higher.
