Natural Gas Price Prediction – Prices Rebound but Cannot Breach Resistance

 

Natural gas prices moved higher on Tuesday rebounding for a second consecutive trading session. Prices were buoyed following a report that showed that the weather was expected to be cooler than normal for most of the south over the next 8-14 days. There is one storm in the Atlantic that has a 10% chance of turning into a tropical cyclone but it should not impact any natural gas installations.
