Analysis and Recommendations:

Natural Gas fell by 0.19 to trade at 2.757 as profit taking and worries over Wednesday’s inventory shake up investors.

Markets have climbed from a low of 1.92 just ten days ago to reach new recent highs on speculation that demand by energy producers has been enough to reduce high inventories and the hopes that an early summer will increase demand for electricity.
