Natural Gas seems ready for a bounce

Prices of natural gas lost further ground on Thursday and dropped to 2-month lows in the vicinity of $6.20 mar per MMBtu. The commodity thus remains well on track to close its second consecutive week with losses. The downtick was amidst shrinking open interest and hinted at the idea that further decline looks out of favour for the time being. Reinforcing this, natural gas currently flirts with the oversold territory, as per the daily RSI.
