Natural gas is losing ground as traders focus on warm weather forecasts. The current demand for natural gas is low, which is bearish for natural gas markets.

If natural gas settles below the 50 MA at $3.12, it will head towards the next support level at $2.95 – $3.00.

If WTI oil settles below the 50 MA at $69.97, it will move towards the strong support level at $67.00 – $67.50.
