Energy & commodity signals — what they're saying right now
These are the live energy & commodity signals you can gate a paper-trading bot on — the same feeds our energy_anchor and finance_anchor bots use. Prediction markets price oil, natural-gas and gold outcomes; the headline number that moves them is the weekly EIA inventory build/draw, straight from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Each card shows its real current reading plus a one-click way to build a bot. New to the category? Start with the energy primer.
Crude oil inventory energy_anchor
The latest weekly change in U.S. crude-oil stocks (excl. the SPR). A draw (inventories fell) is the bullish surprise; a build is bearish — the gate behind "only trade when the weekly draw is big."
Natural gas in storage energy_anchor
The latest weekly change in U.S. natural-gas working storage (lower 48). A build (injection) is normal in shoulder season; an outsized draw moves the gas market — gate a bot on the surprise.
Weather demand — degree-day forecast leading indicator
Population-weighted across 16 major U.S. metros, the next 7 days of cooling (CDD) and heating (HDD) degree days — the weather-driven demand that leads the EIA natural-gas storage number above. That report is last week (lagging); this forecast is next week's gas demand (leading): more degree days = more A/C power-burn or furnace load = more natural-gas draw. Base 65 °F (NOAA standard).
Commodity prices & live brackets finance_anchor
Live gold and WTI crude prices (Stooq) plus the nearest live oil bracket the market is pricing right now — the same level feed our finance_anchor bots gate on. The edge is the distance between the price and the strike.
Every reading here is real — the weekly build/draw straight from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), gold and WTI prices from Stooq, live brackets from Kalshi / Polymarket, and the degree-day demand forecast computed from the public Open-Meteo weather forecast (mean of the daily high/low, base 65 °F, population-weighted across 16 major U.S. metros); no fabricated numbers; a value shows — when there's no live reading. The universal Proven settle-rate signal (our own resolved-market history) also works on commodity bots. Everything on the site is simulated paper trading — a sandbox to test ideas, not financial advice.
