Natural gas futures experienced a price increase at the beginning of this week due to favorable weather forecasts and an increase in gas inflow to LNG facilities. This price increase has occurred because of the predicted warmer weather and reduced demand in some regions. However, daily price peaks have not been able to surpass key technical resistance levels.
Details of the Price Increase
On Monday, natural gas futures in the New York market rose by 0.5 percent to $3.25 per million BTUs. Analysts believe this increase is due to warmer weather forecasts and lower demand in the residential and industrial sectors. Additionally, the gas inflow to LNG facilities indicates higher demand for natural gas exports to international markets.

Technical Barriers in Price Movement
Despite the recent increase, prices are facing serious challenges. Analysts believe that the technical resistance level around $3.30 per million BTUs continues to prevent the continuation of the upward price trend. This resistance level can be considered a key point for investors and traders. If this level is not successfully broken, there is a possibility of prices decreasing again.
Overall, while weather factors and external demand can help strengthen prices, concerns about high gas inventories and domestic demand may impact price trends. Investors should pay close attention to market information and price fluctuations to stay informed about potential changes in the future.
