Energy prices are moving in different directions right now. Some are rising fast. Some are slowing down. The numbers clearly show this split trend across global markets.<\/p>\n

Crude oil price drops 2.16% but still up 79.03% YTD<\/h2>\n

Crude oil is trading at 102.79 USD per barrel. It fell by 2.16% in the last session. But the bigger picture tells a different story. Prices are still up by 79.03% this year. On a yearly basis, crude oil has surged 76.36%.<\/p>\n

Brent crude stands higher at 109.85 USD per barrel. It slipped only 0.49% in the day. Weekly gains remain at 4.30%. Year to date growth is strong at 80.54%. This shows that demand is still holding firm despite short term dips.<\/p>\n

Urals oil is even stronger in yearly terms. It is priced at 112.05 USD per barrel. It dropped 3.46% in a day. But its yearly gain stands at a massive 122.15%. That is one of the highest jumps in the energy space.<\/p>\n

Gasoline surges 111.82% YTD while natural gas falls 23.83%<\/h2>\n

Gasoline prices are showing sharp strength. It is trading at 3.62 USD per gallon. Daily movement is small at 0.28%. But monthly growth is 10.22%. The real highlight is the yearly rise of 111.82%. That is a huge spike.<\/p>\n

Natural gas tells the opposite story. It is priced at 2.80 USD per MMBtu. It gained 1.25% in the day. But year to date it is down by 23.83%. On a yearly basis, it is still negative at 22.66%. This shows weak demand or oversupply pressure.<\/p>\n

LNG JKM is at 16.91 USD per MMBtu. It dropped 0.35% daily. Monthly fall is sharp at 16.02%. Still, yearly growth is strong at 76%. The volatility here is very clear.<\/p>\n

Heating oil rises 100.92% YoY while coal gains 37.44%<\/h2>\n

Heating oil is trading at 4.00 USD per gallon. It dropped 1.80% in a day. But yearly growth is massive at 100.92%. That makes it one of the top gainers in energy.<\/p>\n

Coal prices are at 134 USD per ton. Daily movement is small at 0.26%. Year to date growth is 24.65%. Yearly gain stands at 37.44%. This shows steady but not extreme growth.<\/p>\n

European gas markets are mixed. TTF gas is at 46.06 EUR per MWh. It rose slightly by 0.15%. Yearly gain is 63.55%. UK gas is stable with almost no daily change. It is up 52.78% this year.<\/p>\n

Other fuels show moderate trends. Ethanol is up 27.56% this year. Naphtha has surged 91.70%. Methanol is also strong with 46.39% yearly growth.<\/p>\n

Overall, the energy market is not moving in one direction. Oil and fuel products are still strong. Gas is weaker. The gap between different energy types is becoming very clear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
