July Natural Gas is trading at 6.090, down 3.3 cents this morning.

Silver: Silver soared yesterday early in the session, as a sharp decline in the Dollar supported the metal. Profit- taking late in the session prevented the market from closing at session highs. July Silver is trading at 12.950, down 12 cents this morning.
