Each succeeding update of the major models has for 2 days now had Ike tracking well further west that the previous update. Making landfall around Corpus Christi or a bit south of there will be the ultimate non-event for energy traders.

Unless OPEC do something sufficiently stupid, look for energy prices to weaken over the next 10 days or so.

Just keep it away from the stretch between Freeport and Galveston. Too bad it veered away from the earlier forecast track through the King Ranch.

I hope these forecasters are better than the ones here in New England, I can't tell you how many times I shoveled 10 inches of flurries.
