Natural Gas Natural gas futures were among the quarter's key decliners -LRB--7.5 %, to US$ 2.73 per million British thermal units) as production growth outweighed seasonal consumption and higher exports of the fuel.1 Spot prices saw an even larger drop of 20.6 % (to US$ 2.81) as the support of December's weather - related demand spikes faded and a more normal winter pattern developed.1 Natural gas generally took its downward price cues from elevated US production and growth in the natural gas - focused rig count, which increased from 179 to 194 in March alone.2 Despite the price drop, traders remained optimistic given surging US shale - gas exports and a supply deficit that was 20 % larger
than the five - year
average at March - end, the biggest in four years.3 Moreover, total natural gas inventories of 1.38 trillion cubic feet were nearly 33 % below their year - ago level.3 Meanwhile, the

As usual, I don't place too much emphasis on this sort of forecast, but to the extent that I make any comments at all about the outlook

for stock appreciation, which would require the maintenance or expansion of already high price / peak earnings multiples; 2) we also should recognize an uncomfortably large potential
for market losses, particularly given that the current bull
market has now outlived the median and
average bull, yet at higher valuations
than most bulls have achieved, a flat yield curve with rising interest rate pressures, an extended period of internal divergence as measured by breadth and other
market action, and complacency at best and excessive bullishness at worst, as measured by various sentiment indicators; 3) there is a moderate but still not compelling risk of an oncoming recession, which would become more of a factor if we observe a substantial widening of credit spreads and weakness in the ISM Purchasing Managers Index in the months ahead, and; 4) there remains substantial potential
for U.S. dollar weakness coupled with «unexpectedly» persistent inflation pressures, particularly if we do observe economic weakness.
