Natural Gas prices drop after JOLTS report

Natural Gas prices have taken a plunge, despite earlier gains, as the option markets are indicating signs of overheating. This drop comes after a more than 6% surge on Monday due to reports of delivery issues in gas supply from Norway to Europe. The rally may face challenges as the options market is showing an overstretched long position, signaling a possible profit-taking scenario. The US Dollar Index also witnessed a jump on Tuesday, bouncing back from its weekly lows as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid a decline in equity markets.

Currently, Natural Gas is trading at $2.72 per MMBtu, but recent developments suggest a correction underway. News has emerged that the outage in Norway is expected to be resolved by the end of the week, leading to a drop in European gas prices. Hedge Funds have extended their net-long positions in European Dutch TTF Gas futures to the highest level since October. Norwegian Gas network operator Gassco has reported an extended outage, with the processing plant expected to come back online by Friday. TotalEnergies has signed new contracts for the Asian markets, securing a significant volume of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).

In terms of technical analysis, Natural Gas has displayed a bounce off the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $2.53. While there is potential for the price to reach $3.07, caution is advised due to crowded long positions that could lead to a correction. The $3.00 level was tested in May, with the pivotal level near $3.07 remaining crucial as prices have not closed above it. On the downside, the 200-day SMA near $2.53 acts as the first support level, followed by $2.14 and $2.11.

Supply and demand dynamics play a crucial role in influencing Natural Gas prices. Factors such as global economic growth, industrial activity, population growth, production levels, and inventories impact the market. Weather conditions also play a significant role as demand increases during cold winters and hot summers. Competition from other energy sources, geopolitical events, and government policies are additional factors that influence prices. Economic data releases, particularly the weekly inventory bulletin from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), also impact Natural Gas prices.

As Natural Gas is primarily priced and traded in US Dollars, the value of the currency can affect Gas prices. The US Dollar is the world’s reserve currency, and commodities are priced in USD on international markets. A stronger Dollar means less currency is required to purchase the same volume of Gas, leading to a decrease in prices, and vice versa. Economic releases impacting the US Dollar, as well as major consumers of Natural Gas such as China, Germany, and Japan, can all impact the price of Natural Gas on the global market.
