Natural Gas Prices Rise on Increased U.S. Production and Strong Demand

Natural gas prices in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are being weighed down by record-high U.S. production, record-high inventories, weak industrial demand in Europe, and tepid consumption in Asia. The warmest autumn in nearly 150 years has extended the refill season for gas storage, resulting in above-average inventories. Traders have turned bearish on natural gas due to ample inventories, muted demand, and increased confidence in Europe's ability to go through the winter without major supply disruptions. The benchmark prices for natural gas in the U.S. and Europe have dropped to multi-month lows.

Natural Gas Prices Plummet as Demand Drops and Bearish Trends Persist

Natural gas prices are falling due to mild weather forecasts, high natural gas output, and above-average storage levels, leading to a bearish market sentiment. The absence of cold weather patterns and the expectation of continued mild weather suggest that natural gas prices may continue to face downward pressure in the short term. If colder weather patterns do not materialize, surpluses are expected to increase, maintaining the bearish trend.

Wall Street Bear Predicts Limited Stock Growth in 2024, Morgan Stanley Identifies Investment Opportunities

Wall Street bear Mike Wilson from Morgan Stanley predicts that stocks will remain nearly flat in 2024, with the S&P 500 projected to reach 4,500 by year-end, representing less than 2% upside. Wilson's cautious outlook is influenced by lackluster commentary from companies about the US economy and consumer health, as well as the erosion of fiscal stimulus and the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate strategy. However, Wilson expects earnings improvements in 2024, driven by positive operating leverage and growth from artificial intelligence. He recommends a "barbell" strategy of defensive growth and cyclicals due to elevated stock-specific risks.

"Fund Manager's Cash Hoard Signals Impending Stock Market Crash"

London-based money managers Ruffer & Co. are holding nearly 60% of their flagship Total Return fund in cash and short-term bonds, along with 20% in longer-term inflation-linked bonds, gold, safe-haven Japanese yen, and put options on the market. With only 15% exposure to the stock market, the fund is preparing for an imminent stock-market crash. Ruffer's bearish stance reflects their belief that record monetary tightening and cracks in the US economy will lead to a major reckoning, where inflation, government debts, and higher bond yields wreak havoc on stock-market valuations. While the firm's bearish bets have resulted in underperformance this year, they maintain that the liquidation event has only been postponed, not canceled.

Gold Prices Fluctuate Amidst US Economic Data and Shifting Interest Rate Expectations

Gold prices have failed to recover from their May highs due to the recent upswing in US interest rates, which may prompt the Fed to continue hiking rates during the second half of the year. The strong US jobs data suggests that the economy is holding up well, despite the Fed's tightening campaign. Gold's outlook is turning more bearish from a fundamental standpoint, and fresh record highs may be out of reach for the time being. Technical analysis suggests that if gold falls below $1,940, downside pressure may gather force, emboldening bears to launch an assault on $1,895.
