In this article:
Natural Gas
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.
WTI Oil
WTI oil rebounds as traders focus on the potential hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico.
From the technical point of view, WTI oil found some support near the $68.00 level.
Brent Oil
Brent oil is also moving higher, supported by news from Libya. National Oil Corp of Libya declared force majeure on several cargoes, raising worries about oil exports from the country.
A move above the $72.00 level will lead to the test of the nearest resistance at $72.50 – $73.00.
