Analysis and Recommendations:

Natural Gas fell in today’s session to trade at 2.72 down 0.102 as investors last week drove the price upwards and then today dumped the commodity to take profits. Earlier in the day gas tumbled as low as 2.66.

Just two weeks ago NG had fallen to 10 year lows trading at low as 1.92 before an EIA report about increased use by the energy industry gave investors a reason to pump up the value. Inventories remained high but the price continued to rise.

A few producers announced reduction in production due to economic reasons, as they need the price at 3.00 to show profits.

Global markets were relatively quiet today, devoid of any interesting eco data and a quiet day on the news front.
