Natural Gas: Upside appears limited around $3.00
Natural gas prices gapped higher on Wednesday and reached multi-week highs around the $2.90 region. The sharp move, however, was on the back of shrinking open interest and volume and exposes a potential knee-jerk in the very near term. In the meantime, there is a tough up-barrier around the $3.00 mark per MMBtu.
