Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Retreats Amid China Demand Worries
By:
Key Points:
- Natural gas continues to rebound as traders bet that Freeport LNG restart would boost demand.
- WTI oil settled below the $79.00 level as traders remained focused on problems of China's economy.
- Brent oil made an attempt to settle below the $82.00 level.
Natural Gas
Natural gas rallies as traders focus on the restart of Freeport LNG and bet that demand would increase.
In case natural gas climbs above the resistance at $2.25 – $2.30, it will move towards the next resistance level at $2.50 – $2.55.
WTI Oil
WTI oil pulls back as traders focus on problems of China’s economy. China’s central bank cut one-year and five-year loan prime rates to boost economy, and traders worry that China’s demand for oil would be weaker than previously expected.
If WTI oil stays below the $79.00 level, it will head towards the next support at $75.50 – $76.50.
Brent Oil
Brent oil tests new lows amid demand worries. Rising tensions in the Middle East did not provide support to oil markets as traders focused on supply/demand balance.
A move below the support at $81.50 – $82.50 will push Brent oil towards the next support level at $77.00 – $78.00.
