Natural Gas remains supported near $4.70

Prices of natural gas rose for the second session in a row on Tuesday amidst rising open interest and volume, allowing for the continuation of the recovery in the very near term and with the immediate target at the weekly top near $5.40 per MMBtu (November 16).
