Trading With The KOLD And BOIL ETFs: Cautiously Bullish On Natural Gas

Natural gas is entering its peak demand season, with prices rallying 77% since August and futures for winter delivery trading above $4.50 per MMBtu. Bullish factors include seasonal demand, rising LNG exports, and ongoing geopolitical tensions, while high inventories and long-term trends remain bearish. ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (bullish 2x ETF) is rated a Buy, and ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (bearish -2x ETF) is rated a Sell, reflecting expected winter price strength, but both are only suitable for short-term trades.

KOLD: This -2x Momentum Play Is Now Exhausted

KOLD is a 2x leveraged inverse ETF on natural gas, suitable only for short-term momentum trades, not for buy-and-hold investing. Natural gas prices are at key support levels, and seasonality data suggests a likely rebound in prices heading into September. Storage levels are elevated but not alarming, with robust U.S. production and weaker summer demand pressuring prices downward.

KOLD Can Be Leveraged During Short-Term Volatility

KOLD is a 2x leveraged inverse ETF on natural gas, best suited for day trading due to its daily reset and compounding risks. Holding KOLD beyond a single day can lead to significant performance deviations, especially in volatile natural gas markets. My long-term bullish outlook on natural gas makes KOLD unattractive for buy-and-hold investors; however, exogenous events may create appealing volatility for day traders.
