By:
Key Points:
- Natural gas futures weaken after breaking below the 50-day average, signaling growing bearish pressure in the market
- Mild U.S. weather reduces heating demand, accelerating the seasonal shift toward inventory builds and weaker prices
- Rising U.S. production offsets geopolitical risk, keeping supply strong and limiting upside in natural gas futures
Bearish Signals Mount
U.S. April Natural Gas futures are edging lower on Tuesday after closing on the weak side of the 50-day moving average at $3.099. The market has also crossed to the bearish side of the short-term retracement zone at $3.050 to $3.135. Downside pressure could continue to build under these levels.
