Natural gas pulls back as traders focus on the impact of Tropical Storm Francine, which is forecasted to become a hurricane. Traders expect that natural gas demand would fall, which is bearish for natural gas prices.
In case natural gas settles below the 50 MA at $2.17, it will move towards the support at $2.00 – $2.05.
WTI oil rebounds as traders focus on the potential hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
From the technical point of view, WTI oil found some support near the $68.00 level.
Brent oil is also moving higher, supported by news from Libya. National Oil Corp of Libya declared force majeure on several cargoes, raising worries about oil exports from the country.
A move above the $72.00 level will lead to the test of the nearest resistance at $72.50 – $73.00.
