NATGAS is gaining close to 1% this morning, and is bouncing slightly from the key support zone set by local low from late January 2023. On an intraday basis, the EIA's release of the change in US gas inventories may prove to be a key report for this market. At the moment, the quotes are oscillating near the $2/MMBTU zone.
