Oil traders are worried that U.S. regional banks' problems may have a negative impact on demand for oil.
Natural gas faced resistance near the 20 EMA and pulled back. The current demand for natural gas is high, but it looks that natural gas needs additional positive catalysts to get back to the recent highs near the $3.00 level.
WTI oil declined towards the $73 level as traders remained focused on the problems in the U.S. regional banks sector. Oil markets will likely remain extremely volatile in the upcoming trading sessions as oil is trading near yearly lows.
Brent oil has also found itself under material pressure and moved below the $79 level. From a big picture point of view, Brent oil remains stuck in a wide $78 – $89 range. If Brent oil moves out of this range, it will likely gain strong momentum.
