Natural Gas Prices Forecast

The recent knee-jerk in prices of Natural Gas was amidst declining open interest, leaving the downside somewhat limited for the time being and opening the door for some bounce in the short-term horizon.

Against this, Natural Gas is expected to meet initial resistance at last week’s top at $1.914 ahead of the key $2.00 mark. On the downside, the so far monthly low at $1.775 (June 1) emerges as the initial contention ahead of the 2020 low at $1.574 (April 2).
