Abstract:Expectations were for a 76 Bcf draw
Natural gas prices rebounded sharply on Thursday following a larger than expected decline in natural gas inventories. This comes despite a weather forecast that shows that the USs climate is expected to be warmer than normal over the next two weeks, likely reducing heating demand. There are no disturbances that are expected to turn into tropical cyclones over the next 48-hours according to NOAA.
Technical Analysis
Natural gas prices rallied 5.5% following a larger than expected draw in stockpiles. Prices are poised to test resistance near the 10-day moving average ate 2.69. Support is seen near the December lows at 2.36. Short-term momentum has turned positive as the fast stochastic generated a crossover buy signal. The RSI moved out of oversold territory with an upward trajectory which points to accelerating positive momentum.
