Gas Weakens After Brief Spike Above $3.76
Natural gas rose briefly above the $3.76 interim trend high on Thursday to reach $3.79 before sellers took back control. Subsequently, the price of natural gas fell to a three-day low of
$3.62, pointing to a potential bearish reversal. Natural gas is set to end down for the day and below near-term support.
