Survup, I do not know the answer to your question without
knowing more specifics of your question (which timeframe).
However, anyone trading futures-based ETFs and especially
natural gas ones, should be aware of the method they "roll over",
when they "roll over", and whether and how much contango or
backwardation is present. The rollover date for UNG in
February was Feb. 12-18, and for March will be March 13-18.
You may also want to understand how this roll occurs by
searching a comparison of the UNG versus UNL ETFs. Also, with
natural gas, it is now in the rarer situation of being in
backwardation instead of contango. This implies that during
the March roll-over, UNG should be prone to increasing versus the
spot natural gas price instead of decreasing as it usually does
when in contango. Just my humble opinion, do your own
research on this.
I think the x3 "inefficiency over time deterioration" with UGAZ
may lead using UNG to more accurately look at the nat gas
situation, just my IMO, I'm a newbie here. Thanks.

Does anyone monitor the SKEW index in the community?

I was unaware of it until I read this article. It is like the VIX, but uses the more "out of the money" options in simple terms.

The WSJ article definitely was a big factor in the drop yesterday, I suggest all read the actual WGC report all of these articles were based on.
Here is Mining Weekly's article:

nullified by the increase in Gold Commercial longs
Gold Commercials continue to add to Big short while Silver reduced short slightly. We will see who is the smart money.

agreed, UNL has (usually) less of a contago deterioration

if you use UNG, the "right shoulder" is WAY higher
