Natural gas inventories were reported showing another injection, this time +64Bcf, slightly over expectations. Storage is at a record high, as we have been predicting and showing.
With no hurricanes in sight (see map below), and in should season when no heating and no air conditioning demand, injections can continue further. At the current rate, storage overflow will occur in 4.1 weeks. If this happens, spot prices will crash (not necessarily futures, but very bad news nevertheless)
Storage is 15.8% higher than last year. The mathematical derivative (slope) is showing no sign of changing, and it is still steeper than last year, and than the 5-year averages:
Hurricanes:
As a result of today's numbers, UNG took a big tumble.
Please remind me of showing the straddles for next week, which will be extremely attractive.

That's a 10% move, it's possible but I don't quite like it.
Tuesday or Wednesday we should revisit.
Ok. Will wait then.
