Natural Gas Prices Forecast
Monday’s continuation of the pessimism around prices of the commodity was against the backdrop of rising open interest and volume, opening the door for a deeper retracement in the near-term at least.
That said, Natural Gas is navigating the $1.75 area, levels last seen in mid-April. Against this, initial contention is located at $1.681 (April 16) followed by the 2020 lows in the $1.57 area recorded earlier in April. On the other hand, monthly tops beyond $1.90 emerge as the next hurdle ahead of the key barrier at the $2.00 mark.
