Hybrid Energy Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HYBE) asset valuation continues to increase as Bloomberg Reports that natural gas prices hit a three week high as the rebound in the US economy spurs increase demand.

Gas advanced as Dow Chemical Co., the largest U.S. chemical maker, reported first-quarter profit that topped analyst estimates and said its plants ran at 83 percent of capacity, a 7 percentage-point increase from the previous quarter. Industrial gas purchases account for about 29 percent of consumption.

"The economy is rebounding in the U.S. and that's positive for gas because it's a domestic commodity," said Chris Jarvis, president of Caprock Risk Management LLC in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire.

Gas futures are up 29 percent from a year ago. "Gas futures will probably average $4.72 per million Btu in 2010 and rise to $5.75 next year on improving demand," Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics LLC, an Austin, Texas-based energy consultant, said in a telephone interview. A report yesterday that showed U.S. consumers became more optimistic this month has also helped lift gas prices, Schenker said.

Other U.S. manufacturers are also increasing output as the economy recovers from the worst recession since the 1930s. Gas purchases by factories, chemical plants and steel mills slid 7.7 percent in 2009, according to Energy Department data. General Motors Co. said this week it plans to upgrade five North American engine factories, adding or preserving 1,600 jobs. Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest maker of construction equipment, said on April 25 that the company is seeing increased orders from mining and energy customer.

"All of the data point to improving demand from the industrial side," said Jason Schenker, "We've had positive U.S. economic data and that has been reinforced by positive corporate profits."
