Natural Gas weekly downtrend opportunity based On 1.00 Lot Calculation:
- US natural gas storage volumes declined less than the market expected for the second consecutive week. The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Thursday, March 11, reported a withdrawal of 52 Bcf from natural gas storage for the week ended March 5. Production increased by 6 Bcf/d according to the report, as South Central freeze-offs lifted and power outages returned after the February storm. Production’s rapid recovery has been the big surprise for the market.
- Weather has proven generally mild during the current week and the outlook for the second half of March does not show much to support a bull case for coming weeks either. According to NatGasWeather for March 11 to March 17, most of the U.S. will be mild to warm.
- The natural gas markets are going to continue to see a lot of pressure due to the fact that we are getting towards a warmer time of year, and as the northern hemisphere heads toward spring.
