Overview
• The deteriorating economy has reduced the demand outlook for natural gas, particularly by the industrial sector. Weak pricing and tighter credit conditions have reduced the supply outlook. As a result, the supply/demand balance is expected to be tight, providing support to prices from currently weak levels.
• Look for most deregulated power markets to largely follow the natural gas market, although some regional nuances could drive prices for short periods of time near settlement.
• The global recession is weighing heavily on global oil demand and prices. Low prices create a challenging environment for supply development, however, which sets the stage for a strong price recovery when demand returns.
• Global diesel prices will continue to perform poorly as long as the global economy is in a tailspin. Once economic growth stabilizes, we expect the market to begin to recover in fairly short order.
