OUR TAKE ON THE MARKET
NYMEX Natural Gas
The front of the NYMEX natural gas curve spiked higher on the opening Friday in reaction to Hurricane Delta approaching landfall. As mentioned in earlier “Insights”, such a market reaction is expected even though the event is almost always bearish.
Spot NYMEX natural gas (November) continued its sideways trade between 2.40 and 2.80. The back of the curve has likewise been treading water off of the highs. Lots of input from hurricane threat to the presidential election. Technically, prices are closer to resistance than support with the spot continuation chart depicting a market on its high looking for the next shoe to drop (likely weather).
The next several weeks will be telling.
