3-Year Forward Crude to Gas Ratio
3-Year Forward Crude to Gas Ratio – NYMEX 3-Year Forward strip crude oil futures divided by NYMEX 3-Year Forward strip natural gas futures. This is the same Crude-to-Gas ratio described in the first graph, except calculated for the average futures prices of gas and crude. Why 3-Year Forward? Its far enough into the future to reflect the big changes coming in the gas and crude markets over the next five years. This ratio will be an early indicator when and if the market starts to change its opinion of the long term value of the Crude-to-Gas ratio.
