Natural Gas
Natural gas remains stuck near the strong support level at $2.80 – $2.85 as traders wait for additional catalysts.
In case natural gas manages to settle back above the $2.85 level, it will head towards the next resistance at $3.00 – $3.05.
WTI Oil
WTI oil is losing ground as traders remain skeptical about the potential impact of OPEC+ production cuts.
In case WTI oil settles below the $75.00 level, it will head towards the nearest support at $73.00 – $74.00.
