Crude Oil

Crude Oil futures for October settled down -$1.61 or -1.58% at $100.30. Oil prices pared lossed on Friday as markets weighed disruptions to Saudi supply. Satellite imagery and industry sources indicated that three pumping stations serving Saudi Arabia’s vital East-West Pipeline were damaged in last week’s attack, one more than previously assessed, while the repair timeline remains uncertain.

 

​​​​​Natural Gas

Natural Gas futures for October settled up $.011 or .379% at $2.912. Natural gas prices are higher and looking to end the week with gains as extended summer weather keeps up cooling demand in the southern half of the country. Unseasonably high temperatures across key power-generation regions continue to drive heavy drawdowns from electric utilities running gas-fired turbines to meet household air-conditioning needs.
