Investors will be closely watching for a key piece of information: Will Powell and his colleagues set a total of three rate cuts this year, or stick with their June forecast (when a minority of officials expected two cuts, given the seemingly more robust job market)?" Last month, in a highly anticipated speech, Powells concern about the job market outweighed the concerns of some of his colleagues about inflation. The question now is: Will Powell further intensify this concern after the weak August non-farm payroll report? Doing so would confirm market expectations of further rate cuts in the coming meetings, but would also likely require overcoming the concerns of some colleagues who are hesitant to commit to such a rapid policy shift due to concerns about the neutral interest rate level and whether it should be brought there.According to the Financial Times: Britain has abandoned its plan to impose zero tariffs on steel exports to the United States.U.S. House Speaker Johnson: A vote on the temporary bill is expected on Friday.

Natural gas prices fall in the aftermath of the EIA inventory report

Natural gas prices swung back and forth on Thursday in response to the Department of Energy's inventory report. Because the data was largely consistent with expectations, the majority of the price activity was probably profit-taking at current levels. The weather is anticipated to be diverse, with temperatures dropping in the north and northeast and rising in the south and southeast.

 

Gross domestic product in the United States unexpectedly decreased by 1.4 percent in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department. A 1% increase was anticipated. The price deflator, which is used to measure inflation, increased by 8% annually. The majority of the losses occurred in the trade balance, as imports outpaced exports. Additionally, government spending decreased. Consumer expenditure increased by 2.7 percent in the third quarter.

Technical Evaluation

Natural gas prices fell precipitously, settling down 5% at session lows. At 6.63, support is located at the 20-day moving average. Near the April highs of 8.06, the target resistance is visible. Momentum appears to have slowed, and prices are currently trading sideways inside a wide range.

 

The medium-term trend is downward. The MACD histogram is producing negative values and has a flat trend, indicating consolidation. A crossover sell signal was given by the MACD (moving average convergence divergence). The short-term momentum has flipped and become negative as a crossover sell signal was triggered by the fast stochastic.
