The market focused on stocks throughout the spring and summer after the cold winter drained stocks. As Russia’s war on Ukraine has led to stronger calls for US LNG, an explosion at Freeport LNG earlier this month appears to be alleviating supply concerns, although the 2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) that would feed the shutdown terminal Usually now available to meet demand or injected into storage.
Last week, the market got its first glimpse of the impact of the Freeport outage on supply in the US. In a surprise report, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said inventories for the week ending June 17 rose by 74 billion cubic feet.
Technically, the early rise in spot natural gas prices comes as a result of its dependence on the pivotal support level 6.361, which gained it some positive momentum. This is especially with the start of the influx of positive signals on the relative strength indicators. This in light of the dominance of the main bullish trend in the medium term along a trend line, as shown in the graph. The facility is for a period of time (daily), but it continues to suffer from the continuation of negative pressure for its trading below the simple moving average for the previous 50 days. It is also under the control of a bearish corrective wave in the short term.
Therefore, our expectations remain neutral, waiting for the stock’s behavior towards the pivotal support level 6.361. In the event of this level consolidation, it will push the price upwards to target the resistance level 7.368. However, if the price breaks this support, it will increase the negative pressure on its upcoming trades, to directly target the support level 5.660.
