February 2nd - U.S. natural gas futures prices plummeted, erasing Fridays gains, as recent weather forecasts indicated milder temperatures. In early Asian trading, the near-month contract fell as much as 17% to $3.620 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). This followed an 11% gain on Friday due to record-breaking cold weather. While the southern United States is experiencing severe cold snaps and prompting energy conservation measures, temperatures are expected to rise by mid-February. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts that temperatures across most of the country will be above average for this time of year. This could reduce demand for natural gas used for heating and power generation.Commodity-related LOFs weakened across the board, with multiple funds such as Commodity LOF, Guotou Resources LOF, Resources LOF, and Southern Crude Oil LOF hitting their daily limit down.

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 originally declined during Friday's trading session before turning around and displaying signs of life close to the 3800 mark. It's not a great surprise to see that we bounce from the 3800 level since it's a level where we've seen noise in the past. Despite the fact that the futures market was closed on Monday, the CFD markets were basically telling us the same thing, that we were still in the same general area.


The fact that the 50-Day EMA is just above the 3900 level and is moving a little lower does indicate that it will be difficult for us to go over that level. There should be a sizable pocket of noise all the way up to the 4000 level if we can break above that region. To put it another way, I would probably be a vendor of indicators of weariness.


On the other hand, if we were to fall through the 3800 level, we may only reach the 3700 level or even the 3600 level. I do believe that the market is now experiencing a lot of negative and that we will ultimately decline. We could certainly fall considerably lower if we break down below the 3600 barrier.


A lot of people are worried about the Federal Reserve and interest rates, so the market should continue to be affected by those worries. I'll continue to trade this market using fading rallies.
