Meanwhile, US LNG exports on Monday rose more than 13 billion cubic feet, after exceeding that limit last Friday.
While domestic weather demand eased some forecasts on Monday, there is not enough to allay concerns about natural gas consumption outstripping supply in the event of a hot summer.
Technically, the price is attacking the pivotal resistance level 8.870 with its recent rise. This is the level at which it recorded the last peak on May 6, amid the dominance of the main bullish trend over the medium and short term along a trend line. This is shown in the attached chart for a (daily) period, supported by its continuous trading above its simple moving average for the previous 50 days, in addition to the influx of positive signals on the relative strength indicators.
Therefore, we expect more rise for natural gas during its upcoming trading, but first it has to cross the resistance obstacle at 8.870, to target immediately after that the first resistance levels at 9.550.
