Monday, February 3rd saw the front-month NYMEX Natural Gas Futures Contract open at $1.854, roughly a penny above Friday’s closing price of $1.841. Tallying an intraday high of $1.855 soon after markets opened, prices swooped downward to an intraday low of $1.814 by 11:10AM. Supported early on by expectations for a mid-month spell of seasonal temperatures, momentum soon waned as $1.820 served as support for the majority of the day. Lacking an extended period of heavy demand, and while supply and production remain healthy, traders will need a large catalyst to break from the current trend. March closed lower on Monday at $1.819.
As of 8:45AM EST this morning in Globex, WTI Crude was up $1.18; Natural Gas was up two cents; Heating Oil was up three cents; and Gasoline was up two cents.
