Natural gas gains ground as traders focus on the hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and react to the results of U.S. presidential election.
A successful test of the resistance at $2.75 – $2.80 will push natural gas towards the next resistance level at $3.00 – $3.05.
WTI oil rebounded from session lows as traders focused on the EIA report, which showed that crude inventories increased by 2.1 million barrels from the previous week.
A move above the $72.50 level will open the way to the test of the next resistance level at $77.00 – $77.50.
Brent oil has also managed to rebound from session lows. While many analysts believe that a Trump presidency could be bearish for oil markets as he will encourage domestic production, oil traders stay bullish in the near term.
If Brent oil stays above the $75.00 level, it will move towards the resistance at $77.00 – $77.50.
