OUR TAKE ON THE MARKET
NYMEX Natural Gas
After spot-month NYMEX natural gas (August) broke support at 1.70 but held at 1.60, then it rallied to 1.80. It is nearing expiration and perhaps the approach of tropical disturbances prompted accelerated short covering. 2020 and 2021 calendar strips likewise crept through immediate support and likewise rallied. Regardless of the reasons, prices continue to offer value for procurement.
