Jason Schenker Natural Quotations

There is justification for concern about natural gas prices at these levels. Prices now are essentially twice what they were last winter. That's likely to squeeze consumers.

The real shocker is that there was a build of natural gas at this time of year.

The government's offer of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has mitigated some of the upward price pressure on crude oil. The problems with gasoline and natural gas may not be helped even if the SPR is tapped. If refineries are offline and can't run the extra oil, it will make no difference.

There is no strategic government reserve of natural gas or refined products, and right now the biggest concerns in the marketplace are for products.

This warm weather is lowering demand for natural gas and heating oil. What the market does is all in the hands of the weatherman.
