Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Markets Take A Pause

Key Insights

• Natural gas is trying to settle below $2.85 as weather forecasts remain bearish. 
• WTI oil settled near $77.50 as traders took some profits off the table. 
• Brent oil pulled back below the $82.00 level. 

Natural Gas

Natural gas remains under pressure as weather is expected to be warmer than normal at the beginning of December.

A move below the support at $2.80 – $2.85 will open the way to the test of the next support level, which is located in the $2.60 – $2.65 range.

WTI Oil

WTI oil is mostly flat as traders wait for catalysts after the strong rebound, which was driven by expectations of an additional production cut from OPEC+.

If WTI oil settles above the resistance at $76.50 – $77.50, it will head towards the next resistance level at $82.50 – $83.50.

Brent Oil

Brent oil is also flat amid a lack of catalysts. Profit-taking may serve as an important catalyst today, although it remains to be seen whether bulls want to reduce their long positions ahead of the OPEC+ meeting.

A successful test of the resistance at $80.50 – $81.75 will push Brent oil towards the next resistance level at $87.00 – $88.00.
