Natural gas gains some ground as current demand for natural gas is strong. However, demand is expected to decline closer to the end of the week, so natural gas did not manage to gain strong upside momentum.

Natural gas needs to settle above the $1.80 level to gain additional momentum and move towards the resistance at $1.95 – $2.00.

WTI Oil

WTI oil is swinging between gains and losses as the market stabilizes after the recent volatility. At this point, traders do not expect additional escalation between Israel and Iran.

In case WTI oil climbs above the $82.50 level, it will head towards the nearest resistance, which is located in the $85.50 – $86.50 range.

Brent Oil
