Natural gas rebounds as traders focus on high demand due to hot weather. It remains to be seen whether the rebound would be sustainable as natural gas stocks are well above the five-year average for this time of the year.

In case natural gas manages to settle back above the $2.40 level, it will move towards the nearest resistance at $2.50 – $2.55.

WTI Oil

WTI oil pulls back as traders react to the higher-than-expected U.S. PPI data. U.S. dollar’s pullback did not provide support to oil markets today.

The technical picture remains unchanged as WTI oil needs to settle above the resistance at $83.50 – $84.50 to gain upside momentum.

Brent Oil
