On the New York Mercantile Exchange, natural gas futures for delivery in January settled at USD3.101 per million British thermal units by close of trade on Friday, dropping 0.6% over the week.

Prices fell to USD3.050 on Monday, December 19, the lowest since September 11, 2009, when futures last traded below the psychologically-important level of USD3.00.

Trading volumes were thin ahead of the Christmas holiday weekend, resulting in quiet trade. The NYMEX floor session closed early ahead of Monday’s Christmas holiday.

Natural gas prices tumbled nearly 2% on Friday as most weather forecasts continued to point to warmer-than-normal temperatures across most parts of the northern half of the U.S. and the eastern seaboard through early January, dampening hopes for a pick up in heating demand.

Meanwhile, short-term weather outlooks issued by the U.S. government on Thursday, the official start of winter, showed above-normal temperatures were expected to linger across the northern half of the U.S. through January 5.

Natural gas prices have closely tracked weather forecasts in recent weeks. Above-normal winter temperatures reduce the need for gas-fired electricity to heat homes, dampening demand for natural gas.

Natural gas futures edged modestly lower on Thursday after the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its weekly report that natural gas storage in the U.S. fell by 100 billion cubic feet in the preceding week, falling short of expectations for a decline of 103 billion cubic feet.

The drawdown was lower than the five-year average drop of 140 billion cubic feet. Supplies fell by 181 billion cubic feet in the same week a year earlier.

Total U.S. natural gas storage stood at 3.629 trillion cubic feet as of last week, 11.9% above the five-year average for this time of year.

The January natural gas contract has lost nearly 15% since the beginning of December, trading close to a 27-month low in recent sessions, as record high storage levels in the U.S. and forecasts of warm December weather drove down prices.

Gas futures typically climb during the winter months, as temperatures fall and demand for heating fueled by natural gas rises. But mild weather coupled with high production levels have kept prices depressed in recent weeks.

Elsewhere on the NYMEX, light sweet crude oil futures for February delivery traded at USD99.86 a barrel by close of trade on Friday, rallying 6.16% on the week, while heating oil for January delivery climbed 3.8% over the week to settle at USD2.908 per gallon by close of trade Friday.

NYMEX floor trading was to remain closed December 26 because of the Christmas holiday. Trading volumes were expected to remain light this week, as market participants tend to move to the sidelines and take time off during the last week of December.

The euro also gained slightly against the greenback, but moves were muted as volumes were extremely light with Japan closed and markets across the region easing into the Christmas and year-end holidays.

“It’s unusual that you see such wide spreads, and that just underlines how thin trade is,” said Nizam Idris, currency strategist at Macquarie Group.

Asia stocks gained across the board, buoyed by positive data from the U.S. Jobless claims fell unexpectedly, reaching their lowest level since April 2008. Holiday retail sales are looking solid, while the index of leading economic indicators advanced 0.5% in November for its seventh straight gain.

The smattering of upbeat news helped Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 close 1.2% higher, while South Korea’s Kospi Composite was up 0.9% at 0610 GMT.

“Sentiment overall is definitely positive, and the U.S. data helped,” said Idris. But movements higher in the Aussie dollar and Asian currencies are exaggerated by the overall lack of liquidity in markets, he added.

Another earthquake in New Zealand’s second-largest city of Christchurch knocked the kiwi dollar off course mid-morning in Asia, but the unit quickly recovered as initial reports showed the quake rattled nerves but left buildings standing. The New Zealand unit is at $0.7747, up from $0.7741 late in New York trade.

The euro is at $1.3070, after trading at $1.3052 late in New York. The dollar found support against the Japanese yen at Y78.08. The Aussie dollar is at $1.0163, versus $1.0131 late in New York trade, but off an intra-day high of $1.0184.

Why did it happen? It is these factors that influence it.
a. Principal whether or not the goods. Demand for staple goods such as rice and cooking oil are generally less affected by rising or falling prices. This is because any increase, people continue to buy rice because rice is a staple that should always met their needs. Similarly, when the price drops, people do not then buy up the rice as much as possible. He will buy according to the magnitude of the needs of families within a certain time. Thus, the subject of a goods then permintannya more inelastic.
b. Presence or absence of substitute goods (substitution). Availability of substitutes has led to a good high level of elasticity. However, it’s easy to substitute an item, the more inelastic demand. For example, cow’s milk has soy milk substitutes. If the price of cow’s milk rises, people will buy soy milk. Thus, the demand for cow’s milk is elastic.
c. The proportion or part of income spent on goods. The greater the proportion of income consumers to purchase any item, the more elastic the demand. If the proportion of income spent on goods was small, demand is more inelastic. For example, the decline in the price of the refrigerator caused the people will soon make a purchase on the refrigerator. The proportion of revenues to the high amount refrigerator so that when there are price reductions refrigerator, demand will rise dramatically.
d. Tradition or habit. If the use of an item has become a tradition or habit, the demand will be inelastic. Although the price goes up, consumers will still buy it.

From the demand side, the lower the price level, the better for consumers. From the supply side, the higher the price, it will be more profitable for producers. The problem is to unite the two sides are in the same market. The answer to the above problems is through the equilibrium price.

Equilibrium price formation process
Price equilibrium is reached when the quantity demanded equals the number of items offered at specific times and specific prices. Graphically, the equilibrium price occurs at the point of intersection between the demand curve with the supply curve.

If the equilibrium price is reached, either producers or consumers alike do not want to increase or decrease the price and quantity of goods bought and sold.

The impact of shifting demand and supply on equilibrium price
1. Shift the demand curve
When demand increases, the demand curve will shift to the right of DD to D1D1. This shift will impact the balance point shifts from point E to point E1. In addition, the price is also shifting from P to P1, and the number of shifts from Q to Q1.
When supply decreases, the demand curve will shift from DD to D1D1. A balance also will shift from E to E1. Prices will be shifted down from P to P1 and the number of shifts from Q to Q1.

2. Shift the supply curve
When the supply curve shifts to the right, the number of bids will shift to the right and the price level down. The supply curve shifts to the lower right of the SS to S1S1 and the balance point shifts from E to E1. The amount of goods on offer increased from Q to Q1, while the price dropped from P to P1.
At a reduced supply, the supply curve shifts to the left of the SS to S1S1, causing the balance point shifts from E to E1. The reduced supply will result in changing the equilibrium price. Prices will increase from P to P1, and the number of items reduced from Q to Q1.

Therefore, in determining the selling price, manufacturers must consider consumers react to rising or falling prices. For example when manufacturers lower computer prices, market demand for computers will go up. This shows that market demand is very sensitive to price changes. Thus, manufacturers can determine how large an increase or decrease prices in order to achieve maximum results.

Elasticity of demand
The elasticity of demand shows a comparison between the relative change in the amount of goods and services purchased with relative changes in price. Elasticity of demand can explain the sensitivity of demand to price changes of a goods item.

Elastic demand
Said to be elastic if the coefficient of demand elasticity of demand is greater than one. This situation occurs when the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price.

Inelastic demand
Market demand is said to be inelastic when the coefficient of elasticity of demand is smaller than one. This situation occurs when the percentage change in quantity demanded is smaller than the percentage change in price.

Unitary elastic demand
Request an item is said to have a unit or unitary elasticity when the percentage change in quantity demanded equal to the percentage change in price.

Perfectly elastic demand
Request a product is perfectly elastic if price changes led to little change in countless requests.

Perfectly inelastic demand
Perfectly inelastic demand means that no matter what the price of an item, people will still buy it takes the same amount. For buyers, prices will not affect the quantity demanded.

While the aspects of actors, need a serious effort to develop a material capital (innovation building, lay-out and setting, and the products sold in traditional markets), intellectual capital (innovation the way businesses, marketing “social value” (social marketing), and imaging (branding) of traditional markets, and institutional (innovation membership, collective effort, resource folders, and network (networking) organization of traditional market players.)

Studies PUSTEK-UGM and LOS DIY held in late 2010 and early 2011 this can be one of the prefix for the policy of protection and development of traditional markets in Yogyakarta. It is also hoped the study could be lighter for the government and parliament DIY efforts that are currently working on a draft regulation, government and regency and city that are clean in the traditional market management.

In addition to direct actors such as service-level market, the cooperative market, market traders, APPSI, can close ranks to keep the spirit of working together to develop the traditional markets in Yogyakarta Special Region.

With the trade structure of the above conditions it can be concluded that the conditions of business competition in Indonesia growing lead in the pattern of monopoly or oligopoly as a result of the influence of economic globalization (free markets).
Unfortunately, regulation at national level related to trade (Presidential Decree No. 112/2007 and No. 53/2008 Permendag) do not have sufficient material and substantial in providing direction and model of the protection and development of value systems, social capital, and the traditional market players. Her spirit was even more leads to free competition (free fight liberalism). The contents of both the regulation is more accommodating ketelanjuran current trade order where there has been the dominance of large retailers than meets the spirit and constitutional imperasi contained in the Articles of Social and Economic Development Act of 1945.

Trade draft being discussed today the Government and Parliament are also better reflect the reality ketertundukan factual rather than the ideals of the ideal (law as a tool of social enginering). Regulation is only a residual policy delivery, which makes the traditional market players will remain as an object of the project and the player the edge.

Nevertheless, the vagueness spirit, direction, and a model of trade protection and development of the people, has given a wide space for the existence of local regulations. In the context of protection, some local regulations that already exist and are being designed in the province of Yogyakarta has shown enthusiasm and assertiveness aspects / protection model for the traditional market players. But how much protection against the system of values ​​and social capital, as well as direction, aspect, and the traditional model of market development is still unclear and is largely determined by the interpretation and orientation of regional policy makers.

Protection policy should be aimed to protect the value system (togetherness and kinship), social capital (cultural production), and all elements of a traditional market in Yogyakarta Province include traders, suppliers, retailers, informal workers, and consumers. In accordance with the 1945 Constitution the protection of traditional market players include protection against the elements of the material, intellectual, and institutional.

Protection of the third dimension and the element should include a comprehensive range of aspects including restrictions (quotas) the number of trendy shops, the determination of location and distance (zoning), restrictions on opening hours of a modern store, which sold the product distribution, licensing arrangements, distribution of ownership and viewing the modern shop, balancing the relationship between wholesalers, medium, and small (the division of market share), and the affirmation of direction and pattern of development of traditional markets.
