Natural gas pulled back from session highs as traders reacted to the EIA report, which showed that working gas in storage declined by -93 Bcf from the previous week, compared to analyst forecast of -99 Bcf.
If natural gas declines below the $3.20 – $3.25 level, it will head towards the next support at $3.00 – $3.05.
WTI oil gains ground as traders focus on the EIA report, which indicated that crude inventories declined by 4.2 million barrels from the previous week.
A move above the $70.50 level will push WTI oil towards the nearest resistance level, which is located in the $72.00 – $72.50 range.
Brent oil is moving towards the $74.00 level as traders stay bullish after the release of the EIA data.
From the technical point of view, Brent oil needs to climb above the psychologically important $75.00 level to gain additional upside momentum in the near term.
