Natural Gas Consolidation Likely To Continue

Published 12/03/2014, 09:19 AM

Natural Gas (03.12.2014) made highs of around $4.6 on an unexpected cold front in November month while upcoming mild weather forecast has forced the trader to book profit on higher levels.

On the fundamental side, mild weather in US is expected to continue for the coming two weeks and will put more pressure on prices. On the other hand, the current inventory level of natural gas is 3432 bcf, which is down by 400bcf compared to 5 year average. Inventory forecast for this week is -51 while 5 year average withdrawal is -17. These inventory level might help natural gas prices to hold above current year low.

Now natural gas is trading around $3.772 and as we can see on charts, natural gas once again came below the long term descending trendline running from 2013 high of $5.475. The technical picture suggest for more downside move towards previously broken support and then towards 2014 low at $3.611. However the volume associated with this move is quite low and thus this move could be temporary.
