Oil markets are moving lower as traders worry about weakening demand in China.
Natural gas continues its attempts to settle back above the resistance at $2.80 – $2.85 as traders bet on the potential demand surge.
If natural gas settles above the $2.85 level, it will head towards the next resistance in the $3.05 – $3.10 range.
WTI oil pulled back as traders waited for new catalysts. Worries about the economic situation in China have also put some pressure on the oil markets.
From the technical point of view, WTI oil is stabilizing above the support in the $80.85 – $81.75 range.
Brent oil tested support at $85.10 – $86.00 as traders focused on the signs of weakening demand in China.
At this point, the pullback looks healthy as traders want to take some profits off the table near multi-month highs.
