Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts - Oil Gains Ground As Traders Focus On Falling Treasury Yields | FXEmpire

Natural gas pulls back as traders take some profits off the table after the strong move.

From the technical point of view, natural gas did not manage to settle above the resistance at $3.02 – $3.09.

WTI oil gains ground despite the bearish EIA report, which showed that crude inventories increased by 3.7 million barrels from the previous week. Domestic oil production grew from 13.1 million bpd to 13.2 million bpd, which is also bearish for the market. However, traders focused on falling Treasury yields and U.S. dollar’s pullback.

In case WTI oil moves above the resistance at $79.00 – $80.00, it will head towards the next resistance level at $83.50 – $84.50.

Brent Oil

Brent oil tests new highs as the strong rebound continues. Traders bet that Fed will start the rate cut cycle sooner than previously expected.

A move above the $83.00 level will push Brent oiil towards the resistance at $84.50 – $85.00.

State of Play

Climate change is now a driver of the world’s economy. The impact is profound:

  • Catastrophic weather events — hurricanes, floods, droughts, high temperatures — are more frequent and more extreme. The cost can be measured in both the initial damage caused and the longer-term impact on the economy.
  • Vulnerable communities are increasing climate-related investments, hardening infrastructure and taking other protective measures.
  • Investment in carbon capture and storage technologies is increasingly rapidly.
  • Governments are making investments and crafting regulations to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. 

On top of all of this is the cost of uncertainty. As the Fourth National Climate Assessment, released in 2018 by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
