Up 6.48%, with only 4 stronger weeks in the sample
Ahead of the September CPI release, among Binance commodity USDT-margined perpetual contracts, NATGASUSDT moved from 3.382 USDT to 3.601 USDT this week (starting 2026-10-12), a weekly change of 6.48%. Across a 29-week sample, only 4 weeks were stronger, this week ranks 10th, and its position sits in the first half of the sample. Over the same window, CLUSDT rose 4.05%, BZUSDT rose 1.88%, and XAUUSDT fell 1.97%. Same date, same interface, different directions.
How the week traded day by day
| Date | open | close | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-07 | 3.129 USDT | 3.334 USDT | 6.55% |
| 2026-10-08 | 3.334 USDT | 3.271 USDT | -1.89% |
| 2026-10-09 | 3.271 USDT | 3.392 USDT | 3.7% |
| 2026-10-10 | 3.392 USDT | 3.417 USDT | 0.74% |
| 2026-10-11 | 3.418 USDT | 3.381 USDT | -1.08% |
| 2026-10-12 | 3.382 USDT | 3.447 USDT | 1.92% |
| 2026-10-13 | 3.447 USDT | 3.633 USDT | 5.4% |
| 2026-10-14 | 3.634 USDT | 3.601 USDT | -0.91% |
The 6.48% was not built evenly. 10-13 alone moved from 3.447 USDT to 3.633 USDT, a 5.4% gain, covering the earlier chop in one session. The 6.55% on 10-07 belongs to the prior week. 10-14 closed at 3.601 USDT, below the 3.633 USDT close of 10-13.
The weeks that beat it
| Stronger week | open | close | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-11 | 2.914 USDT | 3.182 USDT | 9.2% |
| 2026-05-25 | 3.008 USDT | 3.339 USDT | 11% |
| 2026-06-15 | 3.102 USDT | 3.317 USDT | 6.93% |
| 2026-10-05 | 3.016 USDT | 3.381 USDT | 12.1% |
Four weeks were stronger, at 9.2%, 11%, 6.93% and 12.1%. This week's 6.48% trails them. The 12.1% week of 2026-10-05 came right before this one, so the move did not start here. This week ranks 10th of 29 weeks including itself, sits in the first half of the sample, and 24 weeks were weaker.
What popular posts say
Popular posts on the Square argue (relayed, not this site's view) that ahead of the September CPI print, crude and Treasury-related contracts are the center of attention, with natural gas treated as the more elastic part of the energy chain. Some posts compare CLUSDT and BZUSDT, noting one rose 4.05% and the other 1.88% this week, same direction, different size. Others point to XAUUSDT falling 1.97%, saying gold and energy did not move together before the data. All of this is pre-data interpretation, not confirmed fact.
Three honest points
One 5.4% session carried most of the weekly 6.48%, so reading the week as a steady trend distorts it. Commodity contracts can carry high leverage, and a single drawdown can force an exit even when the direction was right. Funding fees shift with positioning, so holding overnight is not free, especially around a data release.
Fees
Binance contract default maker fee is 0.02%, default taker fee is 0.05%. The rebate ratio is 20%, leaving an effective maker fee of 0.016% and an effective taker fee of 0.04%.
