NATGAS drops 6% after higher EIA storage data 📉

3:51 PM 22 August 2024

U.S.-based natural gas contracts are losing more than 6% today after weekly EIA data indicated a larger build in crude inventories than expected. The weekly change was +35 bcf versus an expected +25 bcf and an earlier reading of -6 bcf. 

What's more, the latest data indicate that overall gas/electricity demand in the United States has declined, further accentuating the overall high level of total crude inventories, thus subjecting NATGAS to downward pressure.  Source: XTB

NATGAS failed to break above the resistance zone set by the 50- and 100-day exponential moving averages (blue and purple curves on the chart, respectively). The declines seen today are pushing commodity prices to their lowest levels in two weeks  Source: xStation
