As a follow up on my post regarding the energy complex where I stated a bullish position for Nat Gas, it has broken out and is rallying with good volume and open interest.
Here are the numbers from 10:30EST -
Summary Working gas in storage was 1,685 Bcf as of Friday, April 22, 2011, according to EIA estimates. This represents a net increase of 31 Bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 215 Bcf less than last year at this time and 11 Bcf below the 5-year average of 1,696 Bcf. In the East Region, stocks were 94 Bcf below the 5-year average following net injections of 14 Bcf.
