At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.20% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through April 1, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

The iPath Series B Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN is probably a suitable pick for investors looking for momentum. GAZ has hit a 52-week high and is up 178.5% from its 52-week low price of $15.95/share.
Let’s take a look at GAZ and its near-term outlook to gauge where it might be headed.
GAZ in Focus
The iPath Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETNs were designed to provide exposure to the Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex Total Return. It has AUM of $27 million and charges an expense ratio of 45 basis points.
Why the Move?
Natural gas futures recently spiked to a fresh 13-year high on tight supply, adverse weather conditions and declining inventories. With this, natural gas is up about 65% so far in 2022. The surge in prices has largely been contributed by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that has sparked fears of global supply disruption in an already tight-supply market. Sanctions by the United States and other countries may force Russia to supply less natural gas, thereby pushing prices higher. This is making funds like GAZ an impressive investment option.
More Gains Ahead?
It seems like the iPath Series B Bloomberg Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN will remain strong, with a positive weighted alpha of 180.40, which gives cues of a further rally.
