I think it is good time to start some positions at UNG for the mid-term play
. UNG at $13.5 is a strong support and should be MM's G spot. YMYD.
Pro:
1. Oil/Natural Gas price ratio is extremely high in history. With current
oil price, the equivalent natural gas price is around $11 per MMBtu.But
today natural gas spot price is only $3.6 per MMBtu.
2.Natural gas rig count dropped to 6.5-year low. With current natural gas
price, more rigs will be closed. With reduced supply, the natural gas price
will go up.

3.The summer is coming. Most power plant can use natural gas as alternative
to replae fuel to generate electricity. With high oil/natural gas price
ratio, power plant will use more natural gas and thereby drive the deman.
4. The hurricane season is coming. Any hurricane news will pop up natural
gas price.
5. The recent extremey high transaction volumes indicates some big MM is
building positions at UNG. And UNG's recent volume pattern is similar to USO
's when USO built its bottom.
6. From my daily checking from UNG fund website, the fund is creating new
shares everyday with big amount of new shares. It means the demand for UNG
shares is far more than the supply. It is a bullish signal.
7. UNG does not benefit at all from inflation speculation. But every dog has
its day. Thus, UNG will follow up.
Con:
Natural gas supply is still too much. Also, the liquified natural gas (LNG)
from foreign country is adding more pressure to natural gas price. The weak
economy is driving down the demand for natural gas.
Also, contango for natural gas is still severe. |
