Goldman Sachs maintains a commodities index (GSCI) that has unleaded gas as one of the components.
Our new ‘friend’ Henry Paulson cut the weighting of the unleaded gas component by 75% in early August.
Any mutual or hedge funds following this index responded by selling their gas future long positions.
Lots of selling means that supply overcomes demand and walla, down go the prices.
