Futures Climb on Cold Weather, Early Wall Street Strength

Energy futures finished the week on an up note as some strength on Wall Street trickled through to most all commodities and colder weather began to seep into portions of the country. November crude gained $2 to close at $71.85/bbl while November natural gas finished at $6.786, up 8.3 cents from Thursday’s close and 25.3 cents higher than the previous week’s finish.

Eroding gains achieved in the overnight Access trading session, natural gas futures trickled lower Tuesday as neither bull nor bear was willing or able to propel the May contract outside of its recent trading range. Closing at $5.115, the May contract finished 5.5 cents off its opening trade, but 1.2 cents above Monday’s settle.
