Natural gas  continues its attempts to settle below the support at $2.40 – $2.45 as weather forecasts remain bearish.

Traders should note that RSI is in the oversold territory, so the risks of a pullback are increasing.

WTI oil tests new lows as traders stay focused on demand concerns. Interestingly, an attack on Norwegian tanker by Yemen’s Houthis did not provide any support to oil prices.

If WTI oil settles below the support at $67.50 – $68.50, it will head towards the next support level at $64.00 – $64.50.

Brent Oil
