Veramente il future di marzo è arrivato a 4,41 per ora. Poi se nei pochi giorni che restano arriverà a 4,59 lo vedremo.
lunedi rolla e maggio è gia 4.5






March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Natural gas futures rose to the highest level in more than seven weeks as forecasts showed colder-than-normal weather, boosting demand for the heating fuel.
Gas gained for a third week as the Climate Prediction Center forecast cooler-than-usual weather for the eastern U.S. from March 30 to April 7. The low temperature in New York will be 26 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 3 Celsius) tomorrow, 12 degrees below normal, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.
“You have cold weather along the East Coast next week and traders are not willing to go short over the weekend,” said Hamza Khan, an analyst with the Schork Group Inc., a consulting company in Villanova, Pennsylvania.
Natural gas for April delivery gained 15.9 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $4.403 per million British thermal units on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the highest settlement level since Feb. 2. The futures increased 5.6 percent this week.
A series of storms stretching into April is making it harder for computer forecasting models to determine how cold the U.S. East will be, Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC, said in a note to clients today.
CWG’s forecast from March 30 to April 3 says it’s likely that an area of below-normal temperatures will develop in the Northeast and the Ohio Valley and back into Illinois and Missouri.
Heating Demand
U.S. heating demand will be 19 percent higher than average from tomorrow through April 1, according to Weather Derivatives in Belton, Missouri.
“We are clearly having a cold spell and it’s supporting the gas market,” said James Williams, an economist at WTRG Economics, an energy research firm in London, Arkansas.
About 52 percent of U.S. households use natural gas for heating, according to the Energy Department.
The number of gas drilling rigs in the U.S. rose 5 to 880 this week, up from last week’s 875, the lowest level since Jan. 29, 2010, according to Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc.
Gas also gained as data showed the U.S. economy is improving, according to Williams.
Gross domestic product grew at a 3.1 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter, comparing with a 2.8 percent estimate issued last month, figures from the Commerce Department showed today in Washington.
Gas Supply
U.S. gas inventories slipped 6 billion cubic feet in the week ended March 18 to 1.612 trillion cubic feet, the Energy Department reported yesterday.
The stockpile decrease was smaller than the five-year average withdrawal for the week of 17 billion cubic feet, department data show. A surplus to the five-year average rose to 2.2 percent from 1.4 percent the previous week.
U.S. gas production advanced 1.1 percent in December from November, according to the Energy Department’s monthly EIA-914 report. Output in the lower 48 states increased for a second month, increasing 0.2 percent to 66.76 billion cubic feet a day from a revised 66.6 billion.
The department will release a new EIA-914 report on March 29, covering January production levels.
Gas futures volume in electronic trading on the Nymex was 246,209 as of 2:37 p.m., compared with the three-month average of 307,000. Volume was 408,591 yesterday. Open interest was 887,596 contracts. The three-month average open interest is 878,000.
The exchange has a one-business-day delay in reporting open interest and full volume data.
 
ehehehheh Gann, scommetto che a scuola prendevi otto anche nelle interrogazioni a sorpresa.. sei riuscito a superare qualche potenza straniera nell'accantonamento di silver ?

Cort, come già discusso nei mesi passati penso che non è l'argento o le materie prime che stanno crescendo ma il dollaro e l'euro che soffrono di "quantitative easing" :D

ma sì, ma scherzo daI, cmq lsil ne ho parecchio anch'io, e anche goldbullion
ad una effettiva ripresa consistente che potrebbe verificarsi dell'inflazione dovrebbero subirne effetti benefici.. al di là del fatto che stanno comunque andando anche ora, l'oro al trotto e l'argento al galoppo.. speriamo non vi siano incidenti particolari sul percorso ma personalmente non credo
