Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Retreats As Traders Focus On OPEC+ Production Plans
By:
Key Points:
- Natural gas is under strong pressure at the start of the week.
- WTI oil is losing ground as traders react to recent reports indicating that OPEC+ will raise production in August.
- Brent oil pulled back below the $67.00 level.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is losing ground as traders focus on changes in weather forecasts, which indicate that demand may fall in the second half of the week.
A successful test of the support level at $3.35 – $3.40 will open the way to the test of the next support at $3.05 – $3.10.
WTI Oil
WTI oil is moving lower as traders focus on rising production from OPEC+. Recent reports indicated that the group would boost production by 411,000 bpd in August.
If WTI oil settles below the 50 MA at $63.86, it will head towards the next support level at $62.00 – $62.50.
Brent Oil
Brent oil pulled back as geopolitical premium declined. Traders believe that ceasefire between Israel and Iran will hold, which is bearish for oil markets.
A move below the $66.00 level will push Brent oil towards the support level at $63.50 – $64.00.
