Malaysia's state-owned oil and gas company just made a multibillion-dollar bet that Canada will choose to export its shale gas riches. Even though the odds of securing permission to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Canadian west coast are still pretty poor, the costs of such an endeavor immense, and the timeline in question very long, Petronas is putting $5.5 billion on the table – far more than it has ever spent on an acquisition before – to secure a large foothold in the British Columbia shale gas scene.

So far the August futures held Fridays low, but are yet to provide a convincing rebound before the open in New York. Traders are also focused on any news from today’s Eurozone Finance Ministers meeting in Brussels, but are not expecting any major revelations. Throughout this week, Gold traders will also be paying close attention to the start of earnings season in the United States as the FED is still undecided on whether to inject another round of easing at the next FOMC meeting.
