What is energies?
Energy CFDs cover the most actively traded fossil-fuel commodities: WTI crude (US light sweet), Brent crude (the North Sea benchmark) and natural gas (NGAS, the Henry Hub US benchmark). Crude oil is priced in US dollars per barrel; natural gas in US dollars per MMBtu (million British thermal units).
Oil prices are driven by a mix of supply factors (OPEC+ output decisions, US shale production, geopolitical disruptions) and demand factors (global GDP, refinery margins, seasonal driving and heating demand). The spread between WTI and Brent the 'Brent-WTI differential' reflects regional supply and shipping economics.
Natural gas is more seasonal and weather-driven than oil: winter heating demand in the northern hemisphere and summer cooling demand both move price meaningfully. US storage inventories (published weekly by the EIA) are a closely-watched fundamental.
