SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Natural-gas futures climbed as much as 8% Monday, reaching their highest level in more than a month, as triple-digit temperatures across much of the United States lifted expectations for energy demand.

I find it rather disturbing that oil and gas producers are making a Heap of Money and are still raising fuel costs to the consumer who you know are struggling to keep up.....its just adding fuel (a pun!!!) to inflation.....Govt needs to step in because fuel is an essential like bread, milk, eggs and such, but won't.....

Maybe I should have said" When will she go low" I feel sure it might drop a couple of cents more and rise to the occasion again. Some are making too much money to stop now.;) :sick:
 
Oil Prices Dip As Market Awaits Report
SINGAPORE - Oil prices dipped Wednesday as traders awaited the weekly report on U.S. petroleum inventories. Relief that Israeli-Hezbollah fighting in the Mideast has not spread in the oil-rich region also seemed to keep a lid on prices. "The market is a bit nervous about the U.S. inventory report. The numbers have been a bit confusing over the past two to three weeks" because of holidays in the United States, said Tobin Gorey, a commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. "The numbers this week should give us a reasonably clean read on what is going on."

Late on 10:00ET deadline on updates of U.S. petroleum supplies. Must be too much to count?:confused:
 
? No numbers yet!

MARKET UPDATE

11:00 am : Market continues to languish near morning lows as oil prices spike to session highs following a larger than expected draw down in weekly gasoline inventories. As if rising energy prices weren't already taking a toll on transportation stocks, as evidenced by higher diesel fuel prices contributing to an earnings shortfall at Norfolk Southern (NSC 39.99 -5.26), which has plunged 12% to October lows and weighing heavily on the Industrials sector (-1.8%), oil back above $74 per barrel is merely exacerbating early consolidation efforts.

Venezuela Official: $100 a Barrel Possible
Venezuelan Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said that oil prices could reach $100 a barrel. In comments to Latin American TV station Telesur aired late Thursday, Ramirez said prices were still relatively lower today in real terms than they were during the oil crisis of the 1970s, but that could change. "The prices we are seeing today are in today's dollars," Ramirez said. "For us to have the same amount of revenues that we had in 1970, '74, you'd have to put the oil price close to $100 a barrel."
