Pablo Piovano FXStreet

Natural Gas: Key support emerges at $3.50

Tuesday’s marked retracement in prices of the natural gas was in tandem with increasing open interest and is indicative that a deeper drop could lie ahead in the very near term. On this, there is a solid contention region around the $3.50 mark per MMBtu, which exposes further decline in case the commodity clears it.
