Analysis and Recommendations:

Natural Gas was the big surprise in today’s session adding on a few cents to trade at 2.362 continuing its surprising rise from 10 year lows, trading under 2.00. NG has mounted a comeback to trade at the earlier projected bottom for the season.

Reports that showed, that utility providers in the U.S. were switching from more expensive coal to cheaper natural gas provided further support recently. U.S. power companies used 34% more gas in February than a year earlier, Energy Department data showed.

The main factor here will be a downside correction in the near-term as traders remain concerned over elevated U.S. storage levels. Keep a close eye out for this week’s inventory this will tell the story.
