The week opens with crude oil prices bouncing back

After the crash of most of the major commodities at the end of last week due to speculation, this includes the crude oil price dropping by more then three percent, the third week of November started with a somewhat expected rise as most commodities bounce back and the market show a slow and steady recovery. That being said, natural gas prices is still dropping, however there is still time for this commodity to do a comeback as well and to climb as the week will progress.
