Natural gas pulls back as traders focus on the impact of Tropical Storm Francine, which is forecasted to become a hurricane. Traders expect that natural gas demand would fall, which is bearish for natural gas prices.

In case natural gas settles below the 50 MA at $2.17, it will move towards the support at $2.00 – $2.05.
