SPOTLIGHT ON ENERGY FUTURES
ENERGIES: 5/0/11 Lower for the crude and heating oil along with the rbob and natural gas again. The energies were hurt technically on Thursday following through Friday. All of the energies made new recent lows and closes with heating oil having support below280(June), while the rbob bounced of its support area while gas is in one.
