ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF is an inverse fund that provides exposure to declining natural gas prices. The bear case for natural gas includes factors such as economic downturns, renewable energy shift, and oversupply issues. The KOLD ETF carries potential rewards of profiting from falling natural gas prices, but also risks such as volatility decay and thus is not suitable for long-term holding.

Opportunity Today Is In Energy, Especially Oil And Gas - Chris DeMuth Jr.

The ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (KOLD) has returned 122% since October 31st due to seasonal weakness in natural gas. KOLD is only suitable for short-term trading as it suffers from extreme 'volatility decay' and has poor long-term returns. Although natural gas prices have plunged due to warm weather, rising geopolitical tensions could be a wildcard that supports prices in the near term.

5 Top Inverse/Leveraged ETFs of Last Week

The ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF aims to provide investors with -2x daily performance of the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex. The fund has taken advantage of the fall in natural gas prices in the U.S. this year, with a 70% gain. KOLD is a highly speculative tool with a 122% annualized volatility, and it is not recommended for buy and hold strategies.

KOLD: A Speculative Short Term Tool

The ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF is not a long-term investment due to volatility decay and poor long-term performance. Fundamentals and seasonality support higher natural gas prices, so shorting natural gas futures may not be a good bet at this time. Speculators interested in the KOLD ETF should wait until the end of the year when natural gas prices typically decline for a potential trade.

Natural gas prices have experienced significant volatility, with US NYMEX natural gas futures reaching a high of over $10 per MMBtu in August 2022 before falling 80.6% to a low of $1.946 per MMBtu in April 2023. Bullish factors supporting natural gas prices include ongoing tensions between Russia and the US/Europe, reduced production due to low prices, and potential increased demand during the summer cooling season. Bearish factors include a continued downward trend in natural gas futures markets, a glut of European natural gas, and potential economic weakness limiting demand for energy commodities.

KOLD: Natural Gas Could Test The 2020 Lows

The prices of oil and natural gas have been moving in opposite directions, with the ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF performing well compared to the Direxion Daily S&P Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Bear 2X ETF. KOLD tracks the Bloomberg Natural Gas Index inversely at an accelerated rate, meaning that when the index loses value, KOLD gains, making it a useful tool for shorting. Short-term trading strategies and monitoring of demand and supply conditions are recommended for investing in KOLD, as its leveraged nature can lead to abrupt moves in either direction.

Oil prices have seen their largest decline in a month, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) trading near $69 a barrel after a 4.4% decrease from the previous Friday. This drop in value comes amidst signs of faltering demand and an adequately stocked supply ahead of the forthcoming OPEC+ meeting.
