Natural gas futures have dropped by 0.5% to $2.910 per million British thermal units as weather forecasts predict a cooler East Coast, reducing the demand for heating. Additionally, traders are reevaluating the impact of tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean on the US, with the Gulf of Mexico’s storm being downgraded and expected to make partial landfall in the Yucatan. BOK Financial (BOKF -2.77%) suggests that natural gas futures may be nearing an overbought state, potentially leading to a selling streak in the near-term.
