May 6 - According to Iranian media reports, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi and his delegation arrived in Beijing.Futures News, May 6th: The ongoing tensions in the Middle East have led to fluctuating crude oil prices, while gasoline and diesel demand remains sluggish. News regarding fuel oil has limited directional guidance for market trading. From a supply and demand perspective, fuel oil supply has tightened slightly after major refineries scheduled for maintenance. Refineries have increased production to support prices, but fuel oil processing margins have been squeezed, causing both prices to decline. Downstream traders willingness to purchase at high prices has been dampened. Furthermore, under the guidance of supply guarantee policies, local refineries are operating relatively steadily, ensuring stable fuel oil supply and maintaining sales pressure. Considering all factors, the fuel oil market is experiencing mixed signals from both news and supply and demand perspectives. It is expected that fuel oil negotiations this week will see some areas remain stable or stagnant, while others will experience narrow fluctuations.On May 6th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the operating data of the electronic information manufacturing industry for the first quarter of 2026.

On Friday, U.S. natural gas futures settled lower due to projections of milder temperatures and reduced demand over the next two weeks.

 

A decrease of 3 percent in European gas futures also weighed on prices. As a result of sanctions and the closure of a pipeline in Ukraine, Russia's exports have decreased, which explains Europe's weakness.

 

Futures contracts for natural gas in July settled on Friday at $7.765, down $0.070, or 0.89 percent. The United States Natural Gas Fund ETF (UNG) closed the day at $26.27, down $0.21, or -0.79%.

 

In yet another unexpected turn of events, U.S. prices plummeted despite the fact that Texas is preparing for a heat wave that will increase demand for electricity to run air conditioners early the following week.

Technical Analysis of Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is to the downside. Last week, sellers broke a pair of major bottoms at $6.919 and $6.557, reversing the trend.

 

A transaction above $6.521 will indicate a continuation of the downturn. A rise above $9.052 will result in a transition to an upward trend.

 

The range for the next month is $9.052 to $6.521. Its retracement zone between $7.786 and $8.085 halted Friday's rebound at $8.022.

 

The primary range is $3.515-2.052 The important support zone is between $6.283 and $5.630, which is the retracement zone.

Technical Forecast

The trajectory of the July natural gas futures market will be dictated by traders' reactions to $7.786 at the start of trading on Monday.

Positive Scenario 

A prolonged advance above $7.786 will show buyer presence. The initial upside objective is a short-term Fibonacci level located at $8.085. This is a potential trigger for an acceleration to the upside, with $9.052 being the probable next upside objective.

Bearish Prediction

A persistent move below $7.786 will indicate the existence of sellers. If this move develops sufficient momentum to the downside, then watch for the selling to extend to a minor pivot at $7.272.

 

Be on the lookout for a technical rebound on the initial test of $7.272 as countertrend buyers attempt to construct a potentially bullish secondary higher bottom. If this level fails as support, selling might extend to the major support level at $6.521, followed by the retracement zone target of $6.283 to $5.630.
