Natural Gas faces further consolidation near term
Prices of the natural gas added to the positive start of the week and advanced modestly on Tuesday amidst diminishing open interest and volume. Against that, the commodity is expected to keep the consolidative mood unchanged at least in the very near term. In the meantime, the 200-day SMA at $6.85 per MMBtu continues to cap the upside so far.
