Natural Gas Futures: Further upside not favoured

Considering advanced prints from CME Group for natural gas futures markets, open interest dropped for the fourth session in a row on Wednesday, this time by around 11.2K contracts. On the other hand, volume resumed the upside and increased by around 35.2K contracts.

Natural Gas: Consolidative phase expected to prevail

Prices of natural gas rebounded further on Wednesday amidst diminishing open interest, which is indicative that a more serious bullish attempt appears out of favour for the time being. Instead, the commodity seems poised to extend the side-lined mood in place since early November. On the downside, the $4.70 mark per MMBtu should still offer decent contention.
