Welcome to Energy Markets Daily, an AI-powered podcast by Daily Dominance. Friday, October 10, 2025 — Weekly Synthesis: Crude Correction, Gas Resurgence. Energy markets wrap the week with a clear split: crude prices are correcting lower as geopolitical risk premiums unwind, while natural gas maintains its robust resurgence. Crude oil faced a significant correction. WTI is near $61.42, Brent around $65.09. This dip is largely due to easing Middle East tensions, with Gaza ceasefire talks reducing the "war-related risk premium." The EIA’s confirmation of a substantial 3.715 million barrel crude build reinforces the bearish outlook, signaling weaker demand and persistent oversupply. Concerns about a Q4 surplus and slowing demand from China continue to weigh. Natural gas, however, tells a different story. Despite a slight daily dip, Henry Hub prices show impressive gains over the past month and year. Yesterday's EIA Storage Report confirmed an 80 billion cubic feet injection, exceeding consensus. Total inventories are healthy at 3,641 Bcf, 4.5% above the five-year average. Robust storage, colder forecasts, and surging LNG exports support the EIA’s projection of Henry Hub spot prices averaging $4.10 per MMBtu in January 2026. Geopolitical dynamics still inject volatility. Russia launched "massive attacks" on Ukrainian energy infrastructure; Ukraine intensified drone strikes on Russian refineries. New U.S. sanctions targeted entities facilitating Iran's oil exports. While these events create risk, their immediate impact on broad crude prices is currently muted by fundamental oversupply. The levels that matter. WTI finds resistance around $62.67; failure keeps downside risk towards $60. Brent needs to hold above $65. Natural gas remains the clear outperformer, with support around $3.20 and strong outlook towards $3.50. Positioning. Crude markets are rebalancing; easing geopolitical premiums and building inventories suggest a bearish tactical stance. For natural gas, the bullish narrative remains; dips are likely buying opportunities, but manage risk around weather shifts. Catalyst watch. Monitor any escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Middle East stability over the weekend. Next week, the EIA's full Weekly Petroleum Status Report will be the next major data catalyst.
