Govt Intervention, State Acts leads to Supply Shock InflationThesis: The Impact of Government Intervention on Energy Prices: A Decade of Stability Disrupted This thesis examines the historical trends in natural gas and oil futures prices over the past decade, highlighting the relatively stable energy prices in the absence of geopolitical conflicts. It argues that government interventions, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to significant market disruptions and inflationary pressures in energy sectors. The analysis culminates in the observation that recent regulatory promises, exemplified by the Trump rally, signal a potential return to pre-intervention stability. Introduction Energy prices have long been influenced by a myriad of factors, including geopolitical events, supply and demand dynamics, and governmental policies. This study focuses on natural gas and oil prices over the last ten years, revealing a pattern of stability interrupted by government actions. By analyzing price data, market responses, and the effects of interventions, we can better understand the relationship between policy and energy economics. Historical Context Stable Prices Prior to 2020 Analyzing natural gas and oil prices from 2013 to early 2020 reveals a period of relative stability. Prices fluctuated within a predictable range, driven largely by market fundamentals rather than external shocks. Impact of COVID-19 Responses The outbreak of COVID-19 and subsequent government responses led to unprecedented disruptions. Lockdowns and economic contractions caused demand to plummet, resulting in a temporary crash in prices. However, the recovery phase brought about additional complexities, including inflationary pressures as economies reopened and supply chains struggled to adapt. The 2022-2023 Price Explosion A notable surge in energy prices occurred from 2022 to early 2023, driven by a combination of pent-up demand, supply chain issues, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. The inflationary trend was exacerbated by the perception of scarcity, largely fueled by government policies rather than fundamental supply issues. Case Study: The Trump Rally Immediate Market Reactions Following the Trump rally, where he promised to reduce regulations and increase domestic drilling, both oil and natural gas prices showed a marked decline within hours. This response illustrates the market's sensitivity to perceived shifts in policy that favor increased supply. Conclusion This thesis posits that oil and natural gas are abundant resources that, when left to the market without interference, do not contribute significantly to inflation. Instead, it is government intervention, through policies and responses to crises, that creates volatility and price spikes. A return to a more laissez-faire approach could stabilize energy prices and mitigate inflationary pressures, reaffirming the importance of understanding the intricate relationship between energy policy and market behavior. Future Research Directions Further investigation into specific regulatory impacts, comparative analyses with other commodities, and the long-term effects of policy shifts on energy independence would provide a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play.

Natural Gas is Ready For a Commercially Driven Bull MoveNatural gas is nicely setup for longs if we get a confirmed bullish trend change on the daily. -Extreme commercial long positioning (most long they've been in the last 3 years) - bullish. -Investment advisor sentiment very bearish - which is actually bullish. -Undervalued vs gold & treasuries - bullish. -ADX under 40 while commercials got extremely long - bullish. -Bullish spread divergence between front month and next month out - bullish. -Small specs at extreme in short positioning - bullish. -True seasonal & some cycles are not supportive of going long, but these are the last things I look at. Enough indicators are supporting longs that I'm not going to worry about this. -Bullish momentum divergence has triggered on some high timeframes, implying much higher prices are on the cards for Natty. There is also some smaller bullish weekly divergence currently setup (but not confirmed). Have a good week.

Nat Gas: Heating Up into the WinterBrief Overview on Natural Gas Natural Gas is a commodity generally traded on the premise of weather forecasts indicating cooler or warmer seasons. This allows traders to speculate on demand for the product as it generally trades higher with cooler temperatures. Today we are looking at the weekly chart. Thesis: Technical Analysis Pointing to a Bounce This analysis is mainly focused on the lasting demand zone that Natural Gas time and time again respects and typically bounces from. The weekly chart points to the likelihood that the R/R is favorable for a long position at these levels in the 2.20's. Not only do we see NG tap back into this heavy demand zone, but we also can see a Cup & Handle on the weekly chart signaling potential greater upside. Demand Zone offers strong R/R as it dips back in to these levels. Cup & Handle can represent even further upside, but will rely on the initial rebound to prompt the possibility of it playing out. There is also a trendline (not pictured) that is supporting the current bounce we are seeing today from the 2.18/2.19 level. It is important to note that the commodity has been seeing higher lows since the Spring. Lastly, a tap of fundamentals play into this idea as well. Though winter demand is always priced in, this year forecasts have repeatedly painted the picture that this winter will be historically mild. Due to these forecasts implying less seasonal demand for Nat Gas, a shift in the shorter-term and more accurate models as we approach the winter season will sharply move the price of Nat Gas and represents that the current price is truly pricing in a very mild winter. This basis supports the idea of great R/R on this LONG trade idea. Disclosure I am currently in a long position in Natural Gas after entering on the Friday (10/18) Close My position includes: AMEX:UNG Credit Spread 13/12P , AMEX:BOIL common shares If this thesis holds up, I would plan to roll my credit spread contracts into further expirys Thanks for reading!

Smart Money's Secret Signal - Commercials Loading Up on NattySmart Money's Secret Signal: Commercial Traders Are Loading Up on Natural Gas The natural gas market is displaying compelling signals that suggest a potentially significant bullish trend change on the horizon. Through careful analysis of the Commitment of Traders (COT) report and several other key market indicators, we're seeing a convergence of bullish factors that warrant close attention from market participants. Commercial Positioning at Multi-Year Extremes Perhaps the most significant indicator is the current positioning of commercial traders, who are now more long than they've been in over three years. Commercial traders, often considered the "smart money" in commodity markets, tend to have the most comprehensive understanding of supply and demand dynamics. Their extreme long positioning is a powerful bullish signal that shouldn't be ignored. Open Interest Analysis Confirms Bullish Outlook Recent weeks have shown a notable increase in open interest concurrent with price declines. This relationship between price and open interest becomes particularly meaningful when we examine who's driving the increase of OI. In this case, the increase in open interest is primarily attributed to commercial traders building long positions – a highly bullish indication that suggests strong hands are accumulating positions at current price levels. Contrarian Indicators Support the Bullish Case Several contrarian indicators are aligning to support the bullish thesis: -Investment advisor sentiment is currently very bearish, which historically has been a reliable contrarian indicator. -Small speculators are showing extreme short positioning, and this group tends to be wrong at market extremes. -Natural gas is undervalued when compared to historical relationships with gold and U.S. Treasuries. Technical Confirmation Signals The technical picture is adding weight to the bullish case: -The Average Directional Index (ADX) has triggered a buy signal, dropping below 20 while commercials shifted to extreme long positioning. -A bullish spread divergence has emerged between front-month and second-month contracts, implying immediate commercial demand for the front month, which is bullish. -A major weekly bullish divergence has recently confirmed, suggesting potential for significantly higher prices. Market Structure and Timing While these indicators paint a compelling picture for higher natural gas prices, it's crucial to understand that this analysis doesn't necessarily call for immediate long positioning. Rather, it suggests that the market is fundamentally "setting up" for an upward move. Traders should wait for confirmation through a daily bullish trend change before considering positions. The Power of COT Analysis in Trading The Commitment of Traders report remains one of the most powerful yet underutilized tools in market analysis. Understanding how to interpret this data, particularly when combined with other technical and fundamental indicators, can provide traders with a significant edge in the markets. While many traders focus solely on price action or technical indicators, the COT report offers unique insights into the positioning of the market's most informed participants.
