The Wolf Is At The Door

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Friday, February 3. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
The Energy Report for Friday, February 3rd 2012

The oil market is getting less rattled by the headlines surrounding Iran. Iranian threats to shut down the Straits of Hormuz or cut off supply to Europe in a preemptive strike, have been like the old story of "the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf". So is it any wonder that the market is ignoring some of the provocative headlines coming from Iran. It seems that the oil market has been getting prepared for this show down ...

The Big Picture

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Friday, February 3. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
Tim Hannagan is one of the nation’s most prominent grain analysts. His report for Thursday, Feb. 2:

Corn fundamentals remain constant as we enter next week. Cash prices being offered at U.S. shipping ports to meet export demand remain 40 to 80 cents over March futures, a sign that crop problems in South America have importers turning to the U.S. to fill needs.

The drought in Mexico has also contributed to a wave of exports into Asia. While ...

The Energy Report for Thursday, February 2, 2012

Stupid is as stupid does and after Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, reported net income of $9.4 billion for the quarter, up from $9.25 billion the year before and revenue of $121.6 billion, up 16 percent from the year before, T. Boone Pickens seemed to suggest that they were stupid. You see Mr. Pickens, according to the AP, after his company, Clean Energy Fuels, announced a deal ...

Not Buying It

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Wednesday, February 1. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
The Energy Report February 1st 2012

Ok I just am not buying it. All of the hyperbole and enthusiasm that we are seeing in oil. Oh sure I will buy the breaks in oil for short term plays but it appears that the next big move on oil may be down. Oil failed to establish a breakout which means we are in a choppy downward correction. Which is amazing considering the Fed promise to keep interest rates low for an eternity and some stronger than expected Official ...

The Energy Report for Tuesday, January 31st 2012

A gas price horror story is evident at pumps across America as the price, according to the Energy Information Agency, hit the highest level since Halloween. The EIA reports the national average retail price of regular gasoline increased 5 cents a gallon last week, bringing the national average to a whopping $3.439 a gallon. The last time prices went this high demand fell to an 11 year low. Oil prices that are ...

Trying to find the light

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Monday, January 30. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
Is there any light at the end of this tunnel? Instead of a decisive plan to bailout Greece, questions still linger while we try to decide whether this European crisis will end nicely. It just goes on and on.

Iran also does not seen to be as scary on Monday. Weapon inspections are raising hopes that there may be a resolution to this crisis. It seems that according to the AP, "Iran's official news agency reports that the country's foreign minister has said that inspectors from ...

Credit Where Credit Redux

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Friday, January 27. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
The Energy Report for Friday, January 27th 2011

After President Obama's State of the Union speech, I questioned whether the President was trying to take credit for the amazing advances in technologies that has been made in energy production over the last decade. In an article I titled, "Giving Credit Where Credit Is Due", I asked why the Obama tried to take credit for the work of others when he said, "it was public research dollars, over the course of thirty ...

Giving Credit where Credit is Due

The Energy Report for Wednesday, January 25th 2012

I have to Obama credit for making the shale gas and oil revolution part of his State of the Union Address. Yet at the same time, I fail to understand why he wants to take credit for it as opposed to giving the credit where it is deserved and that is with the US energy industry. Indeed, the President was right when he said, "Nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in American made energy. Over the ...

Bluster Fluster

The Energy Report for Tuesday, January 24th 2012

What do you mean the Straits of Hormuz are open? How could this be?! Did Iran not promise to shut down the Straits of Hormuz if Europe dared to impose sanctions on this rouge state? Well yesterday after agreeing to help Greece make up financially for the replacement of that cheap Iranian oil, the EU actually got the gumption to agree on an Iranian oil embargo. Now we are just waiting for Iran to follow through ...

Deal Or No Deal!

Posted by Phil Flynn I PFG Best Research • Monday, January 23. 2012 • Category: Rohstoffe
The Energy Report for Monday, January23rd 2012

Wheeling and dealing dominate the energy market as it desperately seeks direction. Will there be a deal on Greece? Or will Europe actually cut a deal to follow through on a deal to embargo Iran's precious oil. And if they do, will it be tough enough?

The AP reports that, "the European Union formally adopted an oil embargo Monday against Iran and a freeze of the assets of the country's central bank ...

Decompress

The Energy Report for Friday, January 20th 2012

It looks like oil traders are ready for the weekend after a period of high anxiety and conflicting data it now appears the market is trying to calm down a bit. Oil did seem to react to the PMI report that showed China's manufacturing activity contracted for the third straight month in January. Of course for oil that is a doubled edged sword. While weaker manufacturing in the short run may reduce demand ...

Insulting

The Energy Report for Thursday, January 19th 2012

Perhaps the most disturbing slap in the face to the oil industry by the most anti-energy US President in history was made with the statement by Obama in his denial of the application for the building of the Keystone Pipeline when he said, "Under my Administration, domestic oil and natural gas production is up, while imports of foreign oil are down." Yet anyone that follows the energy industry knows that this is ...

Gas Nation!

The Energy Report for Wednesday, January 18, 2012

The Natural Gas Frac attack continues to rewrite energy history. Natural gas prices continue to plummet as global warming continues to favor us and the techniques in the energy industry continues to drive down natural gas prices. The winter strip for natural gas prices are at a 10 year low while supplies hover at an all time high for this time of year. In fact the front month natural gas contract is within ...

Suicide watch

The Energy Report for Tuesday, January 17th 2012

The global oil markets are still focused on whether or not the Iranian regime intends to continue on the path to oblivion as they continue to provoke the globe with their irrational behavior. Add to that the threats they are making to Saudi Arabia and we're seeing the oil market heat up just as China's perfect GDP number heats up.

China's GDP hit its slowest pace in two years but it was not as not ...
