The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its latest monthly forecast that spot prices for natural gas at the Henry Hub are on track to average $7.54 per million British thermal units for the second half of 2022 before dropping to $5.10 in 2023 as production rises.

In its updated version of its short-term energy outlook published on Tuesday, the Energy Information Administration said prices on the national index averaged $7.28 in July. This is a sequential decline from average prices of $7.70 in June and $8.14 in May, due to the growing slack in the market after the extended outage at the Freeport LNG terminal, the researchers said.

Natural Gas Technical Outlook

Natural gas finds some support due to the arrival of the relative strength indicators to very oversold areas, in an exaggerated manner compared to the price movement. This suggests the beginning of a positive divergence in it, in light of the continuation of positive support due to its trading above its simple moving average for the previous 50 days. The price is under the control of the main bullish trend over the medium and short term along with a minor slope line.

Therefore, our expectations indicate an increase in natural gas during its upcoming trading, especially in the event of its stability returning above the level of 8.054, to target the pivotal resistance level 9.600 after that.
