Remembrance

With Nymex floor trading closed Tuesday in remembrance of former President Gerald R. Ford, electronic trading of natural gas futures on IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) and Globex was light, as many traders chose to extend the New Year’s Day holiday weekend by an extra day. In electronic Globex trading, the February contract put in a low of $6.100 and was trading at the day’s $6.309 high late Tuesday, up a penny from Friday’s $6.299 close.
