Nothing like back-to-back hurricanes in one week to show the natural gas market’s hair-trigger response. This week, it was a hair-trigger response to changes in the weather.

Fay grows stronger, we see three straight days of steady, strong price increase. Fay diminishes down to a tropical storm, and all these gains are lost in a single day, with a bit of an extra drop tacked on for good measure. Gustav starts to build, and back up we go.

We said this week would be an interesting test, and it was. Quite a little seminar is which way the wind blows!
