Natural Gas: Initial up-barrier comes near $3.300

Tuesday’s decent bounce in prices of natural gas was in tandem with increasing open interest and volume, leaving the door open to the continuation of the rebound in the very near term. Against that view, the commodity is expected to meet the next obstacle around the weekly high if $3.275 per MMBtu (November 15).
