$2.78150
Key Points:
- Natural gas pulled back on profit-taking.
- WTI oil gained ground despite rising crude inventories and higher domestic oil production.
- Brent oil made an attempt to settle above the $83.00 level.
Natural Gas
Natural gas pulls back as traders take some profits off the table after the strong move.
From the technical point of view, natural gas did not manage to settle above the resistance at $3.02 – $3.09.
WTI Oil
WTI oil gains ground despite the bearish EIA report, which showed that crude inventories increased by 3.7 million barrels from the previous week. Domestic oil production grew from 13.1 million bpd to 13.2 million bpd, which is also bearish for the market. However, traders focused on falling Treasury yields and U.S. dollar’s pullback.
In case WTI oil moves above the resistance at $79.00 – $80.00, it will head towards the next resistance level at $83.50 – $84.50.
Brent Oil
Brent oil tests new highs as the strong rebound continues. Traders bet that Fed will start the rate cut cycle sooner than previously expected.
A move above the $83.00 level will push Brent oiil towards the resistance at $84.50 – $85.00.
