While the majority of commodities trade under pressure today amid post-NFP USD strengthening, there is one commodity that visible bucks this trend - US natural gas prices (NATGAS). NATGAS gains over 3% today and trades at the highest level in 2 weeks. Weather forecasts for the United States can be named as a reason behind the move as they continue to point to a higher-than-average temperatures in key regions. This means that demand for air conditioning, and therefore power generated by gas-powered plants, will likely increase.
