Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: Venezuelan President will visit Russia on May 9.April 12, Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member Green said on Saturday that it is not clear what impact Trumps import tariffs will have on British inflation, and the unpredictable trend of the US dollar makes this mystery more difficult to solve. Green said in a panel discussion at the Delphi Economic Forum in Greece that the increase in trade barriers may drag down economic growth in European countries, "but the implications for inflation are unclear." But Green said that the most important thing to pay attention to is the change in the exchange rate: "The key channel is actually the exchange rate, and this is really difficult because the exchange rate has not been running as the model shows in the past week." "The US dollar exchange rate has fallen, not appreciated as people expected."According to AFP: World Health Organization member states reached an "in principle" agreement on Saturday to respond to future pandemics.On April 12, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a letter released on the 11th that due to the "brutal cuts" in funding, especially the US governments drastic suspension of foreign aid, the agency will lay off 20% of its staff, or more than 500 staff members.

Natural Gas Prices Fall After Reaching New 13-Year Highs

Tips

  • Natural gas prices reached a new intraday high of 13 years.

  • Arrivals of natural gas at LNG terminals decreased.

  • The weather in the mid-West is forecast to be colder than typical.

 

Natural gas prices reached a 13-year high before whipsawing and settling down for the session. While demand continues to be strong, natural gas arrivals at LNG facilities decreased. Natural Gas Intelligence reports that arrivals were the lowest in two weeks. A snowstorm will dump considerable amounts of snow on the higher plains.

 

The weather in the mid-West is predicted to remain significantly colder than average over the next 6-10 days, then moderate slightly over the next 8-14 days, although still significantly colder than average. This scenario will result in an increase in the need for heating.

Technical Evaluation

Natural gas prices set a new intraday high, surpassing the previous 13-year record, but then whippedsawed as speculators took profits. Near the July 2008 highs of 13.68, the target resistance is visible. At 6.07, support is located near the 10-day moving average.

 

Short-term momentum has shifted negative as a crossing sell signal was triggered by the fast stochastic. Prices are excessively high. The fast stochastic is printing a reading of 85, which is above the overbought threshold of 80. Additionally, the RSI is reading 78, exceeding the overbought trigger threshold of 70.

 

The medium-term trend has shifted to the positive. The MACD (moving average convergence divergence) histogram is in positive territory with an upward sloping trend, indicating that the underlying price of natural gas is accelerating.
