Misschien ook leuk voor een opening.... Iedereen aan het gas?!
Meanwhile, as oil has slumped, natural gas has gone through the roof, gaining 5% today to $2.60/MMBtu and 30% since it bottomed out about a month ago. Shares of United States Natural Gas (ASE: UNG) have jumped from $14.25 to nearly $19. Changes including some producers cutting their output and an increase in utilities using natural gas instead of coal have helped drive up prices. Unsurprisingly, coal prices have dipped more than 10% this month. Observers have also noted that storage supplies are not building as fast as expected. While inventories still remain unusually high, a hot summer could increase nat gas demand further for air conditioning. With prices still half of what they were a year ago, natural gas still has a long way to go to make a full-on recovery. ExxonMobil (NYS: XOM) , the country's biggest gas producer, would stand to benefit from a sustained recovery as it has invested heavily in gas in recent years and currently has no plans to curtail production.
