Watching NatGas on storage data, energy plays after $USO move
Natural Gas inventory data tomorrow. With $NATGAS sitting at 2.758, a slight uptick today but still in the recent range. The market's been trying to price in warmer weather forecasts versus the underlying storage situation. It feels like a coin flip for direction post-report.
Separately, the $USO run to 134.54, up 2.77% today, has me looking at broader energy names. Is this just a short-term pop or does it signal renewed strength? I'm curious if anyone's seeing confirmation in the underlying equities or if it's purely crude-driven right now.
On NatGas, I agree it's tough. The warmer weather has certainly capped upside, but storage levels are still a concern long-term if we see any real cold. $USO's move feels more like broader market strength than a fundamental shift for now, but I'm watching a few names like $XOM and $CVX for follow-through.
