We started the year at $3.73 per million cubic feet (MMCF) and closed business yesterday, at $8.796 per MMCF. Here\u2019s that<br \/>\nprice chart:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.ino.com\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/13417.jpg\" width=\"820\" height=\"774\" alt=\"Natural Gas Futures \" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also looked at the inventory chart for Natural Gas from the Energy Information Agency. That chart showed me that natural gas inventories are starting to trend toward the lower end of the five-year average.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now that we have established the fact that inflation has settled in in all of the energy complex, it's time to drop the other shoe; inventories are not keeping pace with demand. But, unfortunately, there is nothing that can hold them back! We started the year at 3,195 billion cubic feet of gas in storage, and by the end of last week, inventories had dropped to 1,732 billion cubic feet. That's down 40%.<\/p>\n<p>Just about now, you are asking yourself, how much of a share of the overall market does natural gas have in the U.S. It's tied for the largest supplier with petroleum at 32%. The ability for the renewables to increase production is just not there, and demand is resurgent, so the current trend will continue.<\/p>\n<p>But remember that next Wednesday marks the beginning of Hurricane Season and the coming next three months are the warmest of the year, June, July, and August. We will struggle to make ends meet this summer with spiking refined product prices and the cost of natural gas unless something changes; policy-wise!<\/p>\n<p>So, as I see it if we get just a little bit warmer than usual, or we get a stronger Hurricane Season, or Vladimir Putin does something stupid, the risk is there, and we could have the makings of a wild summer!<\/p>\n<p>Timothy S.

Risk management has also been a major focus for Tim. Helping others understand the effects of recovering energy economy and the influence of macroeconomic factors is his daily charge, as recovery from the pandemic continues. His company, Matador Economics, was founded in September of 2005 and his initial focus was on marketing and business development for energy and agriculture. After the financial crisis of 2008, Tim pivoted his business to focus on the broader spectrum of energy production and policy, distribution and marketing for crude oil and the refined products. Today, he publishes a daily and weekly commentary for subscribers. \u201cMatador Charts Abbreviated\u201d is a quick look at energy commodity prices in chart form for technical analysis, and \u201cEnergy Brief Today\u201d is his \u2019Headline\u201d daily commentary focusing on market moving fundamentals and policy initiatives that are driving energy markets today. Tim also publishes a weekly offering called \u201cWeekly Quick Facts\u201d. This publication offers highlights from the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, US Energy Information Administration\u2019s Weekly Gasoline and Diesel Retail Price Survey and the Baker Hughes Rig Count. The purpose of the weekly summary is to provide subscribers a weekly-ready reference on inventories, production, prices and much more. Tim is currently published in several industry related magazines, online and in the print media. He also currently serves as an Energy Economist and expert guest for several radio programs across Texas and the US. He currently serves as co-host for a daily radio program in West Texas and the Permian Basin. And he has worked with the host on this program for more than 17 years.
