TELL Stock News: Tellurian declines despite American LNG industry heating up

NYSEAMERICAN:TELL extended its recent decline on Wednesday as the Liquefied Natural Gas company fell for the fourth straight session. Shares of TELL dropped by 1.37% and closed the trading day at $5.76. Tellurian remains trading at levels above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, as the LNG industry continues to make global headlines as more countries impose economic sanctions against Russia. The major indices diverged on Wednesday, mostly due to the utter collapse of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) following a disappointing earnings report. The Dow Jones posted a 249 basis point gain, while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ posted losses of 0.06% and 1.22% respectively during the session.
