If you were off last week, then you missed a wild week. The market gapped lower on open on Dec 27th (falling from the 2.55-60 range to the low 2.30s), and then spent the rest of the week slowly climbing back. 

 

 

Yesterday, natural gas prices opened even higher crossing over 2.60 to 2.644 with cooler temps in the forecast.

The GEFS Ensemble added 18 HDDs vs the 12z run on New Years Eve, and the Euro Ensemble added 3.4 HDDs. The added cooler weather was all over the next 10 days. The charts below show the daily added HDDs vs New Years Eve.
