RE: isn't NG linked to oil somewhat?I really do not see why the two should be linked at all. Oil prices might serve as a purely theoretical benchmark. However, these are totally different commodities both in terms of supply and demand. While the bulk of oil is important and it is scarce in this part of the world, the shale NG reserves are abundant and relatively cheap to extract. In my humble opinion, stating that prices for gold, platinum and silver are related has more grounds and reasons to be true (and yet is not)...
And then, apart from any fundamentals, there are simple trading deviations in prices - market noise.
