Natural Gas Price Volatility Chart

The energy market is a fast paced, ever changing medium. As an example, just look at the volatility in the natural gas market over the past few years!

The red line shows the ebb and flows of the ever changing NYMEX Natural Gas futures, while the blue line shows the changes in the S&P 500. Swings of $13 to $4 per MMBtu can happen! So what would a swing like that do to a manufacturers cost of goods?  Can you even foresee a change like this quick enough to make adjustments?
