This morning, theUnited States Gasoline Fund( ( UGA - ETF report ) is trading higher by 0.45 cents to $55.50 a share. This tells us that gasoline prices at the pump are going to be higher if you have not noticed already.

High gasoline prices are a direct tax on the U.S. consumer. It is always important to remember that consumer spending accounts for roughly 70.0 percent of the gross domestic product in the United States. Short term traders should watch for intra-day resistance on the UGA around the $56.00 level.
