Traders bet that supply routes in the Middle East will stay safe despite Israel - Hamas conflict.
Natural gas gains ground as traders take some profits off the table after the strong pullback.
From the technical point of view, natural gas needs to settle back above $3.05 to have a chance to gain upside momentum.
WTI oil pulls back as traders focus on the diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. Traders bet that oil supply routes will remain safe.
In case WTI oil settles below the $86.00 level, it will head towards the next support, which is located in the $80.50 – $82.00 range.
Brent oil is also losing ground as the worst-case scenario, which implies the spread of Israel – Hamas conflict to other Middle East countries, has not materialized.
A move below the support at $88.80 – $90.00 will open the way to the test of the next support at $84.00 – $85.30.
