Finishing the week with a pretty uneventful Friday. NYMEX futures for the next few months remained flat, but came down a few more cents for months further out. Last day of futures trading is July 25th.

The first week of August could be cooler than normal for the northeastern US, hopefully offering a break to those living through this heat wave. Toronto is still under a heat warning, and Dawn has switched to withdrawals (though very tiny).

A few disturbances have been reported by the National Hurricane Center, one being along southwestern coast of Louisiana. It has a small chance of forming into a cyclone since it will soon move inland, but will likely bring considerable rain to the northwestern Gulf Coast.

Have a good weekend!
