Where are electric and gas prices going ? · No one knows for sure ... · Futures markets are the basis
for how experts value electric and gas prices. · Prices in futures markets are greatly affected by the current price and interest rates. · PSE&G's electric and gas commodity rates for residential (BGS-FP and BGSS) are affected by these markets.
