Natural Gas faces immediate hurdle at $4.00
Thursday’s doji-like session in natural gas ended with small gains and seems to mark the end of the corrective phase triggered following 2021 peaks around $4.20 (August 4/5). The downtick was accompanied by diminishing open interest, supporting further a potential rebound in the very near term. Against this, the initial hurdle of relevance comes in around the $4.00 mark per MMBtu ahead of $4.20.
