Natural gas continues to move lower as traders focus on milder weather forecasts. The bullish EIA report, which was released on Thursday, did not provide sufficient support to the market.

In case natural gas declines below the $2.10 level, it will move towards the support at $2.00 – $2.05.

WTI Oil

WTI oil was under pressure as traders focused on demand worries. It looks that geopolitical premium has declined due to Gaza ceasefire negotiations, which was bearish for oil markets.

In case WTI oil settles below the support at $75.50 – $76.50, it will move towards the next support level at $72.00 – $72.50.

Brent Oil

Brent oil is losing ground amid broad pullback in the oil markets. U.S. dollar’s pullback did not provide any support to Brent oil as traders remained focused on demand outlook.

A move below the $79.00 level will push Brent oil towards the support at $77.00 – $78.00.
