In this article:
Natural Gas
Natural gas remains under pressure amid a lack of upside catalysts. However, natural gas did not manage to settle below the support at $1.60 – $1.65.
From the technical point of view, natural gas needs to stay above $1.60 – $1.65 to have a chance to gain upside momentum in the near term.
WTI Oil
WTI oil is mostly flat as traders wait for additional catalysts. It should be noted that U.S. dollar tests multi-week highs, which is bearish for oil markets.
The technical picture remains bullish as WTI oil stays above the support at $79.00 – $80.00.
Brent Oil
Brent oil is also flat ahead of the weekend. The pullback in government bond yields may have provided some support to oil markets in today’s trading session.
In case Brent oil settles back above $86.00, it will head towards the recent highs near the $87.50 level.
