The natural gas market remains potentially volatile despite the recent calm, according to this article in the WSJ. "But the domestic nature of the gas market also makes it less liquid than much larger, globally traded commodities such as crude oil and gold, which means gas futures should remain volatile enough to attract financial traders. A hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, which remains a major source of gas production despite growing shale-gas output, could spark a double-digit percentage rally in gas futures, for example." Very interesting.
