Analysis and Recommendations:

Natural Gas is trading at 2.788 almost unchanged today, as commodities remain strong and the US dollar weakened with the hopes of Fed stimulus come September 13th. There is no supporting data for natural gas and US markets are closed for the holiday so volume is light and there is no action here.

The EIA reports that consumer demand is down, as weather remains fairly steady and the National Hurricane Center says that Kirk has dissipated and there are no storms threatening the Gulf region at this time.

FxEmpire provides in-depth analysis for each currency and commodity we review. Fundamental analysis is provided in three components.
