Natural Gas Storage Forecasts: Is the Crowd Wiser?

Abstract: This paper examines the usefulness of crowdsourced relative to professional forecasts for natural gas storage changes. We find that crowdsourced forecasts are less accurate than professional forecasts on average. We investigate possible reasons for this inferior performance and find evidence of a greater divergence of opinions and a lower incorporation of publicly available information among crowd analysts. We further show that crowdsourced consensus forecast does not influence the market's expectation of gas … Show more

“…Halova et al (2014) and Ederington et al (2019) show that crude oil futures trading volume and volatility on days with EIA crude oil inventory announcements are higher than days without. Similar findings are documented for the natural gas inventory announcements (see, e.g., Fernandez-Perez et al, 2020;Gay et al, 2009;Gu and Kurov, 2018).…”

“…The coverage approach can be a good complementary analysis to follow changes in fluidity domain distributions, due to changes in membrane composition 30 or cell interactions. 32 Although there are data from GP experiments in the literature obtained on fixed samples, the validity of this approach is limited due to the extreme sensitivity of LAURDAN to the membrane physical state and water activity. 33…”
