What's in each brief

- Storage Preview: the 5-year average and year-ago changes for the report week, and how that week's demand compared.
- Storage Recap: EIA's number against the 5-year average and last year, each region, and the path to the end of March.
- Weekly News Brief: why prices moved this week; a supply and disruption watch covering LNG export terminals, pipelines, processing plants, production and the rig count; global gas and geopolitics; and the week's top stories, with links to the sources.
- Weekly Outlook: a bullish/bearish scorecard of the fundamentals; "Since Friday's close": how NOAA's 7-day forecast and its 6–10 and 8–14 day outlooks changed over the weekend, region by region, and how far Sunday-evening opens typically move; a day-by-day review of last week's trading on the daily chart; weather and winter pattern signals (AO, NAO, PNA); storage and the path to the end of March; power burn with wind, solar and nuclear outages; the tropics; positioning; and the week's calendar.
Paid members get every brief by email. Free members get the Storage Preview, the Storage Recap and the Weekly Outlook summary by email. Every brief is also posted on this website.
On holiday weeks, when EIA moves its storage report (for example, to Wednesday at noon on Thanksgiving week), the Storage Recap follows EIA's schedule and there's no separate Storage Preview.
