ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas

BOIL provides 2x the daily return of an index that measures the price performance of natural gas as reflected through publicly traded natural gas futures contracts.

Natural gas moves toward the peak demand season. The forward curve reflects natural gas seasonality. European prices are rising - U.K. and Dutch natural gas futures reached bottoms after all-time 2022 highs.

Consider BOIL As Seasonality Supports A Natural Gas Rally

The ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (BOIL) provides 2x leverage to front-month natural gas futures prices. Although fundamentals have developed as I expected with an extremely hot summer driving natural gas demand, the BOIL ETF has only eked out a small gain. This is because BOIL suffers from futures roll decay and volatility decay.

BOIL: Downgrading To A Hold On Heightened Roll Decay

BOIL is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to produce returns equal to twice the daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex. Currently, BOIL's underlying index tracks the September 2023 gas futures and will roll to the November contract in August and the January 2024 contract in October. The longer-term outlook for gas prices is bullish, but the short-term prospects are mixed and prices for November 2023 and January 2024 futures already reflect significant price upside.

A developing El Niño could lead to increased demand for natural gas to power air conditioners, and the potential closure of Europe's largest natural gas field may result in a surge in demand for North American LNG. The ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF is a high-risk, high-reward investment option due to its exposure to natural gas futures prices and potential for roll and volatility decay. Short-term traders may consider a speculative buy on the BOIL ETF, but long-term investors should seek exposure elsewhere.

BOIL offers day traders an opportunity to speculate on natural gas movements, delivering double the daily return of the underlying index. Despite possible short-term gains, BOIL isn't recommended beyond speculative day trading due to the effects of leverage, compounding, and, daily rebalancing on the relative performance of BOIL and its underlying index.

Wild swings in natural gas prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine war continue to attract speculative bets on the commodity. We suspect that we are witnessing the classic symptoms indicating that retail traders are suffering from the illusion of value.

Natural Gas (Ngas Strong Buy - NYSEARCA:BOIL ETF Strong Buy) has had an epic run from Covid lows. From its $1.46 mcf bottom in June of 2020, Ngas has rallied 687% to its high in late August of last year. That is the biggest bull run in decades. The upleg from December 2021 lows of $3.54 per mcf was likely driven by growing concerns that Russia would attack Ukraine, disrupting the flow of energy to Europe (Ukraine).
