Natural Gas Prices Forecast

Friday’s negative move in prices of Natural Gas was in combination with shrinking open interest and volume, supporting the idea that pullbacks appear somewhat limited in the very near-term.

That said, Natural Gas faces initial contention at monthly lows at $1.736 (June 10) followed by the 2020 lows in the $1.57 area (April 2). On the other hand, monthly tops beyond $1.91 emerge as the next hurdle ahead of the key barrier at the $2.00 mark.
