Natural Gas gains on bets of colder January
FXStreet (Mumbai) - Natural Gas futures on NYMEX edged higher today, snapping two days of losses, as traders braced for a colder end of this month and January than previously forecast.
Natural Gas futures for January delivery trades at USD 3.651/mmBtu levels, up 0.88% compared to previous session’s close of USD 3.619/mmBtu. Natural gas prices fell in the previous session as updated weather-forecasts lowered the severity of cold temperatures than previously predicted. However, natural gas reversed losses and headed higher on reports that although some portions of the northern U.S. will see colder weather in the coming days, mild temperatures felt in the central and southern parts of the country may not hamper the demand for heating.
Natural Gas Levels to consider
Natural Gas prices have an immediate resistance located at 3.709 (Dec 9 High), above which gains could be extended to at 3.785 (Dec 8 High) levels. Meanwhile, support is seen at 3.605 (Dec 16 Low), below which it can extend losses to 3.550 levels.
