Natural gas has been the top-performing commodity since April 1, 2016
SmallCapPower | July 7, 2016: Q2 2016 was a stellar quarter for commodities, led by a 53% surge in the price of natural gas. All of this bodes well for nat gas producers, with the hottest regions in North America being the Marcellus, Montney and the Bakken. The natural gas names on our list today all have operations in at least one of these regions and the stock prices should continue to benefit from this positive momentum.
