Pablo Piovano FXStreet

Open interest in natural gas futures markets increased for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, this time by nearly 21K contracts, the largest single day build since February 1. In the same line, volume went up by around 146.7K contracts, reversing at the same time three consecutive daily pullbacks.

Natural Gas looks side-lined for the time being

Prices of natural gas printed decent gains on Tuesday in tandem with increasing open interest and volume, which exposes a near-term bounce, although always against the backdrop of the current consolidative fashion. So far, the commodity remains stuck within the $2.00-$3.00 MMBtu range fort the time being.

Gold bounces back toward $5.200 amid sustained safe-haven flows

Gold bounces back toward $5,200 in Wednesday's Asian session, moving away from an over one-week low.

However, a bullish US Dollar and reduced bets for more aggressive easing by the US Fed might keep a lid on the non-yielding yellow metal ahead of the US ADP report and ISM Services PMI data due later in the day.
