Oil markets are moving higher as demand for riskier assets grows.
Natural gas is moving higher as traders stay focused on favorable weather forecasts.
In case natural gas manages to settle above the $2.85 level, it will gain additional upside momentum and head towards the resistance in the $3.10 – $3.20 range.
WTI oil continues its attempts to settle above the resistance in the $70.00 – $70.50 range as the rebound continues. U.S. dollar’s weakness provided additional support to oil markets in today’s trading session.
A successful test of the resistance at $70.00 – $70.50 will push WTI oil towards the next resistance in the $72.45 – $73.15 range.
Brent oil is also moving higher amid rising demand for riskier assets.
From the technical point of view, it is already clear that the support level at $71.55 – $72.05 has not been breached. A move above the 50 MA at $75.85 will provide Brent oil with an opportunity to gain additional upside momentum.
