Natural Gas, WTI Oil, Brent Oil Forecasts – Oil Moves Higher As Traders Focus On Supply Cuts
Key Insights
- Natural gas prices are ticking upward in response to a recent EIA report that didn’t meet analyst expectations, steering toward the $2.60-$2.65 resistance.
- WTI oil bucks the trend of a stronger dollar and rising yields, as traders wager on Saudi Arabia’s commitment to prolonging production cuts.
- Brent oil has carved out a stable perch in the $81.70-$82.85 range, revealing resilient support and a clear upward trajectory.
Natural Gas
Natural gas continues to rebound as traders stay focused on yesterday’s EIA report, which missed analyst estimates.
From the technical point of view, natural gas is slowly moving towards the resistance at $2.60 – $2.65. A move above this level will open the way to the test of the resistance at $2.80 – $2.85.
WTI Oil
WTI oil moved higher despite stronger dollar and rising Treasury yields. Traders bet that Saudi Arabia will extend its production cuts into October.
Currently, WTI oil settled in the range between the support at $77.30 and the resistance at $80.85. Most likely, it will need additional catalysts to move out of this range.
Brent Oil
Brent oil found strong support in the $81.70 – $82.85 range and is moving higher.
The nearest resistance level for Brent oil is located in the $85.10 – $86.00 range. RSI remains in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.

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Research Program, says, “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid.”
