Natural Gas Futures: Downward pressure appears temporary

Natural Gas: Next on the upside comes $2.90 ahead of $3.00
Friday’s downtick in prices of natural gas was on the back of diminishing open interest and volume and is indicative that extra pullbacks appear not favoured in the very near term. That said, initial up-barrier emerges at the June’s high near $2.90 (June 28) prior to the March tops past the $3.00 mark per MMBtu (March 23).
