DESPITE CHOPPY ACTION, ENERGY FUTURES ALL LOOK HIGHER

ENERGIES: 1/6/11: Higher closes yesterday for crude and heating oil along with the rbob while lower natural gas. The energies continue to look higher with strong rallies off their respective session’s lows as shown in the various charts below. Crude held the critical 8800 area again while heat keeps bouncing off the 64000 area. On the other hand the rbob made a new CONTRACT HIGH CLOSE. In other words all of the energies, despite choppy action, look to continue higher with the world demand(excluding the USA at this time) for oil keeps increasing overall. Gas settled sharply lower but was overdue for a setback after its strong rally since December 27th. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE CRUDE OIL AND HEATING OIL ALONG WITH RBOB AND NATURAL GAS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
